Peter Walker: Experiements in Seriality Gesture, and Flatness Linda L. Jewell
|
|
Walker is one of the few landscape architects who combines an active
practice with an ongoing commitment to studio teaching. For 15 years,
he has challenged GSD students to examine the expressive qualities of
project design without abandoning human and environmental concerns.
In the
studio, Walker encourages students to seek sources of landscape form
in contemporary art and culture, history, ecology, and themselves, rather
than in the norms of contemporary practice. Through his active engagement
in teaching, the ideas of students have invigorated Walker's own thinking:
the process has resulted in work that is constantly evolving, fresh,
innovative and timely.
