The Land is Full Author Event and Book Signing

Join us for a special evening with Thomas L. Woltz, Senior Principal of Nelson Byrd Woltz, one of the most in-demand and respected firms working in landscape architecture today.

Woltz will share from the firm’s new monograph, The Land is Full, a celebration of 12 projects that illustrate the power of design to create vital public realms at the heart of communities, and to reveal and integrate ecological and cultural histories into meaningful public experiences.

Included amongst these projects are exceptionally sensitive sites across the United States, including those that hold the vital histories of enslaved peoples, the rich cultures of indigenous peoples, and the natural habitats that have been threatened by infrastructure and construction.

Woltz will speak to his personal experience with these projects and more, articulating the central role of landscape architecture in reshaping public space to meet challenges of ecological and social resilience.

This lecture will be followed by a book signing and opportunity to meet the author.
