Landscape Design Portfolios Lecture Series: Lisa Switkin
As a senior principal at James Corner Field Operations, Lisa Switkin has led many of the firm’s most complex, bold, and transformative projects and has helped to reshape New York City’s public realm for the past 20 years. Switkin will discuss new forms of public space that foster environmental health and resilience, social cohesion and well-being, and connection to place. In this NYBG lecture she examines “cohabitation” and our evolving human relationship with nature, showcasing projects such as the High Line in Manhattan; Domino Park and River Ring in Brooklyn; the transformative master plan for Freshkills Parkland in Staten Island; and Shelby Farms Park in Memphis.
