SUMMARY:Quality of Life Design Awards - Reception and Presentation

SUMMARY:GROUND - Broken grounds (Part 7)
DESCRIPTION:an interdisciplinary series on the ground’s many manifestations and meanings  \nWhile a primary medium for landscape architects’ physical intervention\, the ground has remained muted in discourse and action despite its many manifestations and capacities – to stir\, to connect\, to remember\, as well as to expose and destabilize. This multifaceted explorative series aims to excavate the ground for these manifestations and meanings to better understand how we (humans) situate ourselves in the world and in relation to each other\, to our pasts\, and to the more-than-human – materials\, systems\, species. We explore its significance as a noun (the ground; a material)\, a verb (to ground; its agency)\, and an adjective (to be grounded; situated). In particular\, the series will consider the ground as both a site of exploitation and extraction\, as well as resistance and creation. The series of conversations\, exhibition and field happenings focused on questions of landscape and its varied grounds\, integrates activists\, designers\, artists\, scholars\, scientists\, environmentalists with diverse and intersectional identities. \nPerhaps the most considered “grounds” by landscape architects\, broken ground refers to sites of contamination\, extraction and disturbance. Yet the discourse around extraction has remained relatively focused on discrete sites of large-operation “natural resource” extraction (mainly mines)\, rather than more nuanced environmental manifestations including the extraction of value and labor. Additionally\, rhetoric around remediation and mitigation have largely left out the ground as a source of risk to bodies most exposed. This final conversation additionally interrogates what it means to live and die on the grounds we (humans) have profoundly altered. \nMODERATOR: Vittoria Di Palma\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, USC School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across art\, geography\, environmental humanities\, medical anthropology\, landscape architecture

SUMMARY:GROUND - Othered grounds (Part 6)
DESCRIPTION:an interdisciplinary series on the ground’s many manifestations and meanings  \nWhile a primary medium for landscape architects’ physical intervention\, the ground has remained muted in discourse and action despite its many manifestations and capacities – to stir\, to connect\, to remember\, as well as to expose and destabilize. This multifaceted explorative series aims to excavate the ground for these manifestations and meanings to better understand how we (humans) situate ourselves in the world and in relation to each other\, to our pasts\, and to the more-than-human – materials\, systems\, species. We explore its significance as a noun (the ground; a material)\, a verb (to ground; its agency)\, and an adjective (to be grounded; situated). In particular\, the series will consider the ground as both a site of exploitation and extraction\, as well as resistance and creation. The series of conversations\, exhibition and field happenings focused on questions of landscape and its varied grounds\, integrates activists\, designers\, artists\, scholars\, scientists\, environmentalists with diverse and intersectional identities. \nThis conversation will focus particularly on the body and its relationship to the ground\, specifically those bodies that negotiate the ground outside what have been deemed “normative” frameworks. It will consider how the ground is structured by dominant systems to which Others must conform. Queer\, gendered\, racialized bodies\, otherly-abled bodies\, non-human bodies are all distinct in their ground negotiations but share their exclusion from hegemonic structures of ground formation. Grouping these categories of variant bodies is not intended to exaggerate the process of Othering\, but to discuss ways to mobilize across difference to upend structures of exclusion. \nMODERATOR: Gail Dubrow\, PhD\, Professor\, University of Minnesota\, School of Architecture \nInvitees practicing across disability studies\, queer studies\, gender studies\, international human rights\, animal studies\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:GROUND - Shaky grounds (Part 5)
DESCRIPTION:an interdisciplinary series on the ground’s many manifestations and meanings  \nWhile a primary medium for landscape architects’ physical intervention\, the ground has remained muted in discourse and action despite its many manifestations and capacities – to stir\, to connect\, to remember\, as well as to expose and destabilize.

The series of conversations\, exhibition and field happenings focused on questions of landscape and its varied grounds\, integrates activists\, designers\, artists\, scholars\, scientists\, environmentalists with diverse and intersectional identities. \nPart 5 – Shaky grounds \nContested ground claims\, occupancies and appropriations are often played out over the most unstable of grounds – sites of flood\, flow\, subsidence\, slide\, as well as ground rendered fugitive through increasing aridity and/or misuse. This conversation is intended to consider the intersection of geo-/spatio- political forces and geophysical instability\, including what it means to occupy or be forced to occupy (or flee) risky ground. It additionally aims to imagine how grounds deemed instable have the potential to be sites of possibility\, for alternate modes and models of existence. \nMODERATOR: Davi Schoen\, USC Faculty\, Landscape Designer\, STOSS \nInvitees practicing across media studies\, anthropology\, art\, climate science\, geography\, landscape architecture \nRegister Here
