- **Event Name**: Helphand Lecture: Wisdom of Place
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Throughout time people have shaped their environments according to their first-hand experiences and instinctive understandings of natural phenomena; landscape design was informed by the concept of genius loci, or “spirit of place.” Sullivan and Boults maintain that recognizing and honoring the genius loci is the first step in preserving the social and ecological integrity of place when creating spaces for human use and enjoyment. Their research presents a survey of global myths, legends and folklore that are based on a deep understanding of the genius, or spirit, of the land, and presents a new framework for their application and interpretation. This is a Helphand Endowed Lecture.

A light lunch reception to meet the speakers begins at noon in the Hayden Gallery.

The Kenneth I. Helphand Endowed Lecture Fund at the University of Oregon Foundation was established in 2013 to give students the benefit of learning from top scholars for years to come. Professor Helphand, FASLA, is among the elite worldwide in landscape history and theory. A professor of landscape architecture for forty years, he is author of several award-winning books, was editor of Landscape Journal, is an honorary member of the Israel Association of Landscape Architects, and is former chair of the Senior Fellows in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks. He retired from full-time teaching at UO in fall 2012.
