KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Sept. 18, 2024 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s 32nd<\/sup> annual Landscape Architecture Lecture Series returns this fall with a focus on the many ways we think about landscape architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers \u2013 Gareth Doherty<\/strong> of Harvard University\u2019s Graduate School of Design, Gena Wirth<\/strong> of SCAPE Landscape Architecture, and 溏心vlog免费B站 President Marc Parlange<\/strong> \u2013 will cover a wide range of topics, from landscape architecture in Africa to using sediment and dredging for coastal resilience to the complexity of airflow and trees in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series, which opens Sept. 25, will be held Wednesday nights<\/strong> at 7 p.m. in the Beaupre Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences. The lectures \u2013 free and open to the public \u2013 will be held in-person only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis lecture series focuses on different approaches to practicing landscape architecture through the continuous thread of fieldwork,\u201d said Gavin Zeitz, assistant teaching professor of landscape architecture. \u201cFieldwork is key for all aspects of landscape architecture and varies from research into ways of practicing landscape architecture, data collection or community engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeitz is overseeing the series this fall with the retirement of long-time landscape architecture professor and lecture series William Green. Green, who joined 溏心vlog免费B站 in 1992, organized the lecture series from its start into his first year of retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWill did a wonderful job curating this lecture series for a long time,\u201d Zeitz said. \u201cWith his retirement, we hope to keep the tradition alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doherty, associate professor of landscape architecture at Harvard, opens the series Sept. 25<\/strong> with a talk on \u201cLandscape Fieldwork in Africa: Alternative Future for the Field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doherty received a Doctor of Design degree from the Havard Graduate School of Design and his Master of Landscape Design and Certificate in Urban Design from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of professional associations in Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the U.S. He is the author of \u201cParadoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City State,\u201d and editor of numerous other works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Oct. 16,<\/strong> Wirth, a design principal and partner at SCAPE, will discuss \u201cAdaptive Landscapes and Designing with Sediment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SCAPE, Wirth works with cities, community advocates and landowners to discover the ecological and cultural potential of public landscapes. She is also an advocate for ecological systems design as a member of the non-profit Dredge Research Collaborative and through teaching positions at Harvard, Columbia, Syracuse and Rutgers. She holds master\u2019s degrees in landscape architecture and urban planning from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Parlange wraps up the fall lectures on Nov. 6<\/strong> with a look at the \u201cRole of Trees on Airflow in Cities: Vancouver, Canada, and Basel, Switzerland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlange, who joined 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2021 as its 12th<\/sup> president, is a distinguished researcher as well as a global higher education leader. He is internationally known for his expertise in environmental fluid mechanics and has conducted research in hydrology and climate change that addresses critical issues such as heat transfer in cities, energy dynamics in hurricanes, and water resources challenges in remote communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, one of the highest professional honors accorded an engineer, and a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Meteorological Society, and the American Geophysical Union. He is a recipient of the John Dalton Medal of the European Geosciences Union and the Hydrologic Sciences Award of the American Geophysical Union. He was also awarded an early career James B. Macelwane Medal from the American Geophysical Union, and the 2020 American Meteorological Society\u2019s Hydrologic Sciences Medal, the society\u2019s highest award for outstanding contributions to scientific knowledge in hydrology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
