Quality of Life Design Awards - Reception and Presentation
2021-09-30 17:30 - 21:30 | Omni Hotel at California Plaza, 251 South Olive, Los Angeles, California
This year’s theme, “The Growing Importance of Outdoors,” speaks to what we already know. The outdoors is a crucial part of our existence. It became more evident to others during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a community, people spoke out about the lack of it in some neighborhoods, and the abundance in others. Our backyards became respites from home schooling, working from home, and places to see others more safely.

The award presentation will be held at the Omni Hotel Los Angeles, “outdoor” Water Court Plaza on September 30.

More than 30 years ago, Susan Gottlieb, creator of The Gottlieb Native Garden, started on a journey that would ultimately convert her one-acre property in Los Angeles into one of the premier native gardens in the United States. Today, it’s a flourishing ecosystem, containing 200 species of California native plants and trees.
As this ecosystem’s architect, Susan has cultivated a miniature biome that’s a National Wildlife Federation Certified Backyard Habitat, a Xerces Society designated Pollinator Habitat, and an active site for scientific research, education, and collaboration among a wide range of environmental groups and universities. In her talk, Susan shares stories and photos from this urban oasis.

Webinar: Superbloom: Immersive Beauty in Palm Springs Downtown Park
2022-01-20 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
For millennia, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley have been a magnetic destination for visitors. From rare plants and roadside geology to hot springs and canyon oases, the desert rewards careful observation. Downtown Park is a new 2-acre public open space in the heart of Palm Springs. The park offers a shady oasis for residents and visitors near the Palm Springs Art Museum. Sited on the grounds of the historic Desert Inn, the design draws on Palm Springs’ legacy as a destination for seekers of health, nature, and pleasure.
Presenter: Nate Cormier ASLA – Managing Studio Director, RIOS
Nate’s interest in landscape design as a form of storytelling drew him to Los Angeles after two decades of practice in Seattle and an MLA from Harvard. Nate’s work, including downtown parks in Denver, Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs, involves unearthing stories of place as catalysts for authentic urban life. Nate’s current research interest centers around health and wellness in urban environments.
