Design Matters

New Ecologies and Radical Kindness; Landscapes in Service of the Whole

Join SAPL in welcoming David Godshall for his lecture, New Ecologies and Radical Kindness; Landscapes in Service of the Whole. The lecture investigtes the nature of our relationships to the tools with which we create (land, labor, plants and materials), TERREMOTO is ongoingly evolving its modes and methods of landscape making. By asking “Why, How and For Whom is the Garden?” we find ourselves drifting towards aesthetically and ecologically fertile new territory. This lecture will be a discussion and conversation about these novel ways of practice.
