| Projecting Reclamation in Design | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
December 1, 2004 - January 17, 2005
Projecting Reclamation in Design examines the under-explored territory of reclaiming the nearly 500,000 abandoned mines across the United States that landscape architects have paid relatively little attention to until now. Why have they paid little attention this growing landscape project? How may they become involved? This exhibition reveals reclamation as a rapidly growing area of landscape production with substantial diversity and richness of fields. The exhibition and symposium will focus upon current and future directions for landscape architects and designers to consider in engaging reclamation. Reclamation is represented using a wide array of graphic techniques, including: cartographies, mappings, images, movies, microbial displays, computer simulations, biotic experiments, and physical models.Alan Berger, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the
Graduate School of Design, heads the P-REX project and was responsible
for curating Projecting Reclamation in Design in collaboration with
the Department of Exhibitions and Department of Landscape Architecture
at the GSD.
