Keynote Speaker:
Charles Waldheim
Chair of Landscape Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design
Charles Waldheim, Chair is internationally recognized for coining the term "landscape urbanism." This school of thought contends that landscape, rather than architecture, is more capable of organizing a community and enhancing the urban experience. The concept of landscape urbanism is sweeping design schools, academia, the avant-garde and the media. Landscape urbanism is an ecological alternative to "new urbanism" and has gained wide recognition quickly because of its unique ability to reconcile contemporary economic systems with the underlying ecological conditions around which communities are created.
