Reception and Halprin Exhibitition
2017-10-20 16:30 - 18:30 | A+D Architecture and Design Museum, 900 East 4th Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90013, United States
Join The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) at a twilight, private reception at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum Los Angeles being held in conjunction with the ASLA Annual Conference and EXPO this October.
The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin, a traveling photographic exhibition about the life and work of landscape architect Lawrence Halprin (1916-2009), will be on view. Organized and curated by TCLF in 2016 during the centennial anniversary of Halprin’s birth, the exhibition features 56 newly commissioned photographs by leading landscape photographers of dozens of Halprin’s major works, ranging from recently rediscovered residential projects created early in his career in the 1950s to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C. to capstone projects such as the Yosemite Falls approach and Stern Grove in San Francisco, and significant postmodernist projects in the Los Angeles area including the Los Angeles Open Space Network and Plaza Las Fuentes in Pasadena. The exhibition both honors the influential designer and calls attention to the need for informed and effective stewardship of his irreplaceable legacy.
The launch event, following the daylong Outstanding Ojai excursion, will culminate with the presentation of the 2017 Stewardship Excellence Award.
A full-color printed gallery guide accompanies the exhibition with information about each of the sites, as well as a complementary online exhibition presenting additional photography, selections from a video oral history with Halprin, and assessments about the present condition of public Halprin commissions

Amici di ENV - Cal Poly Pomona Tour October 7 - 15
2017-10-07 | CA
Cal Poly Pomona Los Angeles Tour of Castiglion Florentino, Italy.
Department of Landscape Architecture is partnering with the College of Environmental Design to sponsor an incredible week in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Castiglion Fiorentino has been home to students of landscape architecture for 25 years, and is the location of the longest running international program in the college. This spectacular trip will provide an opportunity to go slow, connecting with the community and a landscape that has been fundamental to education of generations of landscape architecture students. While this tour is based in the relationships Cal Poly Pomona Landscape Architecture has nurtured in Castiglion Fiorentino across the past 25 years, it is a tour that will take a deep dive into place and community with some occasional discussion around design. The program’s planned events are wide ranging but very local in context. This trip is an opportunity to explore Italy well off the beaten path, and to reconnect and be inspired again, or for the first time!
Open to all friends and alumni of CPP Los Angeles. Bob Borthwick, Randy Hlubik and Ken Nakaba will be attending.
