Landscapes - Made in California With Bernard Trainor
2020-03-16 17:30 - 19:30
AIA Santa Barbara Presents . . . . .
The American Institute of Architects, Santa Barbara, is partnering with Ground Studio to host a presentation by Landscape Architect, Bernard Trainor.
Bernard is the founding principal and design director of Ground Studio, with offices based in Monterey and Napa, California. Drawing on thirty-five years of passionate commitment to the study and practice of landscape design, he is involved with his collaborative studio team on every landscape project from conception to completion. Throughout the years, he has completed four academic programs, practiced professionally in three countries, and continues to lecture extensively on the subject of Landscape Design throughout the world.
Ground Studio envisions and crafts contextual California landscapes, thoughtfully balancing the character of the land, the identity of the architecture, and the lifestyles of people who live there.
Designing in a range of scales from compact urban gardens to expansive rural sites, we listen and observe to ensure the essence of the place is revealed, resulting in designs that inspire a deep connection with the land.
“In all cases we begin by exploring the connections between human, built and natural systems. Within these complex relationships, we practice an ecological approach to design that cultivates regeneration and restoration. Revealing qualities inherent in the site and utilizing local materials that blur the distinction between architecture and landscape, we balance the interplay of structure and nature. Essentially, we seek out elegant solutions that expose and elevate the spirit and poetry of a landscape.” Bernard Trainor
There is no charge for this event.

Starting with a short video from the current SFMOMA show on The Sea Ranch, you will learn about the cast of characters that came together to create the most highly awarded community in the 1960s and 1970s, why it was significant and why the lessons learned are still relevant. I will discuss the land planning, landscape architecture, and the architecture of The Sea Ranch and why they work so well (and why some of them don’t!). All of this, and some inside anecdotes on life at The Sea Ranch, will be shared.
