Risks, natural or man-made, most often have a cause and effect that transcends any individual building and impacts wide areas. The structure of the landscape, especially at natural edges like the ocean’s shore or fault zones, is always changing and adapting the land to new conditions. This can take place suddenly or in geologic time. How do landscape architects accommodate these processes in designing places that can reduce risk, adapt to climate change, and function as great public open space that is ecologically and esthetically rich? Case studies will demonstrate exceptional resilient design for three parks, two campuses—one institutional and one governmental—and a surprising golf course atop a water filtration plant Speakers: Welcome: Lance Jay Brown, FAIA, DPACSA, 2014 AIANY Chapter President, Founding Co-chair Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee Nette Compton, ASLA, Trust for Public Land, 2014 ASLA NY Chapter President Moderator: Donna Walcavage, FASLA, Stantec Taewook Cha, ASLA, Supermass Studio: The Water Institute Headquarters, Baton Rouge, LA Richard Roark, ASLA, Olin Partnership, Hunts Point Lifelines, Rebuild by Design, Bronx, NY Ken Smith, FASLA, Workshop Ken Smith Landscape Architecture: Crotona Water Filtration Plant (invited) Jackson Wandres, ASLA, The RBA Group: Restoration of Rockaway Boardwalk, Barbara Wilks, FASLA, FAIA, W Architecture and Landscape Architecture: St Patricks Island, Calgary, AB Organized by: AIANY Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee & ASLA NY Center for Architecture
