Charles Waldheim, visiting Cullinan Professor at Rice, and Associate Dean and Director of the Landscape Architecture Program at the University of Toronto, will be at Anderson Hall on Rice's campus Monday, March 10th at 5:00pm. Professor Waldheim is known for his pioneering work in landscape architecture, and urbanism. He is editor of the Landscape Urbanism Reader, Post-Fordist Public Works, has published numerous articles, and spoken and lectured at major US and international universities.

Now, we know that Landscape Urbanism might be something of a confusing topic (landscape and urbanism you say?). So the general gist is that as post-industrial cities (think Detroit, or Gary, IN) depopulate, landscape becomes more and more prevalent. Landscape Urbanism is a method of working within post-industrial cities. It's large-scale, and can have the feel of eco-industrial parks, or terraced urban salt mines. Anyhow, we think it's totally worth checking out.
