Interesting story by Sara and her journey into landscape architecture and her awareness of how the profession influences land development with concerns for different cultures. One must be aware, not only of the environment in which you are designing but also the people and their history on that land. I was in Mississippi following Katrina for several weeks working out of the Mobile USACE office to formulate a nonstructural approach to addressing post event damages and redevelopment of the MS coastline in such a way to minimize future storm damages. It was fascinating to work with the local population on how their future landscape could be redeveloped in light of possible future catastrophic events. Good luck Sara in your professional career. 😮
?? Gotta ask, why does such a self absorbed community choose to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on more and more obnoxious monuments to glorify themselves, while whining 24/7 about the millions of jews that died and completely IGNORING the millions of heroic men and women that volunteered and fought and DIED to free the jews during the war... would it be too much to ask for them to just say THANK-YOU once in awhile and maybe spend some money building a few monuments to those amazing heroes that risked their lives fighting during the war and saved their lives! (It's such a slap in the face to those that risked everything and fought in the war, and to the families that lost loved ones that volunteered to fight and the war, and saved so many lives. Me, me, me, it's all about me... maybe if the jewish community could be bothered to look past their own noses and think of someone else for a minute!) And the jewish community wonders why they have been despised all over the world, for centuries!) SHAME ON YOU!
Mary Miss is truly an Artist and Pioneer of our time. Kelly Baum, you should be ashamed of yourself. Not even having the heart or brains to include the Artist. Des Moines Art Center, is a TRAITOR to the Arts.
I am so moved by this video! Thank you, Mr. Kongjian Yu, for being so thoughtful, creative, caring, and innovative! We need more people like you to save our planet. "Ecological Utopia" - so inspiring and beautiful! ❤
I lived on Potreo Hill back in 89, I remember the earthquake hardly affecting the architecture, those buildings held up really well. Very well designed, master crafted.
The thing that makes San Antonio parks so vibrant is that the trees keep the park cool in the hottest season. If you thin the trees the park will not be as cool. Your best bet is to relocate the trees within the park as to keep some visibility and maintain its density.
My Grand Parents and Parents were also in Poston block 2 and my Dad use to tune in L. A. Kcbs only at night he then was told get ready to go to boot camp back east then get ready for Europe for the war effort
wonderful exposition of a pragmatic urban approach that looks at how plants function (not freaking out over native, invasive divide, free of nostalgia), funny and illuminating with the emphasis on survival and adaptation.
"An opportunity to design for an urban center". It's a strip mall. It's a suburban failure in the city that kills the spirit of the city. The tourists roam through there unsatisfied. Waste of space. Whatever stables or shacks that were there would be better.
I find myself interested in the landscape, architecture, feel and what this person is saying is absolutely fantastic. I feel more comfortable and confident in the pursuit of a degree in landscape architecture. PS it’s best to watch this video at 1.75 speed.
