“Projecting Forward” calls for a third way to see Owens Lake, neither subjective nor objective. Robinson instead hails readers, whether policy-makers or landscape designers, to highlight a “middle ground” ... with focus on the foreground, the background, and sights between.

According to USC landscape architecture and urbanism professor Alexander Robinson, design allows for reinvention as restitution: https://t.co/sUveReN8EU

@JenniferEditor @landarchmag I loved this. The visuals and music (a few times slightly surging IMHO) stunned the entire room to put their devices down and watch plant grow and die.

“..it is time to set aside the goal of restoring the historical Everglades wilderness that Marjory Stoneman Douglas described. The Everglades today are a hybrid ecosystem that encompasses both natural and constructed landscapes.” #thisislandscapearchitecture

My @USCArchitecture landscape students came up with new proposals for the #SilverLake Reservoir as part of my studio, Re-Allocating the Reservoir. Proposals grew from a careful analysis of water, habitat, and community. #landscapearchitecture #uscmla https://t.co/YmSY2U0MKp

A thread! @PlacesJournal published an article I wrote about the politics of shade in Los Angeles. Shade, as in, what’s under a tree, or a covered walkway, or created by an awning—basically, where you want to be on a hot day. It’s cooler there! 1/ https://t.co/Db472ZISu5

The LA River is flowing at close to 20 MPH. I was driving 10-15 MPH alongside it and a stick in the river was passing me. Be safe out there people! @NBCLA
