Walter Hood
Professor, Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, UC Berkeley
Principal, Hood Design, Oakland, California
Riffing Landscapes
Walter Hood has worked in a variety of settings including architecture, urban design, community planning, environmental art, and research. His published monographs: Urban Diaries and Blues & Jazz Landscape Improvisations illuminate his unique approach to the design of urban landscapes and won an ASLA Research award in 1996. In 1997, he was a fellow at the American Academy in Rome in Landscape Architecture. Most recently, his firm, Hood Design, designed the gardens and landscape for the new DeYoung Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park with Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron. Currently, Walter is researching and writing a book entitled Urban Landscapes; American Landscape Typologies. His area of teaching, the American Urban Landscape, is intertwined with his design work creating a didactic approach to the design of urban landscapes.

Kongjian Yu
Dean and Professor, The Graduate School of Landscape Architecture, Peking University
President, Turenscape
The Art of Survival: Defining Landscape Architecture in Contemporary China
Time Magazine called Kongjian Yu "The Force of Nature," and Yu defined landscape architecture as the art of survival. Dr. Yu proposes that the profession must bring value back to the vernacular of the land and the people, and lead the way in urban development by planning and designing an infrastructure of landscape and ecology, through which landscapes can be created and preserved as a medium, and as the connecting link between the land, people and our spirits.
Dr. Yu had been awarded five ASLA Honor Awards in 2002, 2005, 2006, and 2007, respectively, by the American Society of Landscape Architecture for the following projects: The Zhongshan Shipyard Park, The Shenyang Architectural School Campus, the Urban Development Pattern of Taizhou, Floating Gardens-Yongning River Park, and The Red Ribbon.

Richard T.T. Forman
PAES Professor of Landscape Ecology, Graduate School of Design, Harvard University
Urban Regions: Ecology/Planning Boston Suburb, Barcelona Region, and Worldwide Patterns
Professor Forman teaches ecological courses in the Harvard Graduate School of Design and in Harvard College. His research and writing elucidate landscape ecology, road ecology, land-use planning/nature conservation, urban regions and, more broadly, promising spatial arrangements for nature and people on the land. His books include Land Mosaics (1995), Landscape Ecology Principles for Landscape Architecture and Land-Use Planning (1996), Road Ecology (2003), Mosaico Territorial para la Region Metropolitana de Barcelona (2004), and Urban Regions: Ecology and Planning Beyond the City (forthcoming, Cambridge University Press).
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Center for Global Metropolitan Studies.

Kristina Hill
Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in Landscape Architecture, School of Architecture, University of Virginia
Rising Tides: Helping Coastal Cities Adapt to Sea Level Change
Kristina Hill’s work has focused on the application of ecological ideas in urban design, using formal vocabularies grounded in historical associations. She has worked on water systems, transit systems, and design for biodiversity. Her current focus is on developing a concept of “adaptive urbanism” that can help guide urban investments in a future that will be affected by climate change.
The Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Lecture Series takes place Monday evenings* from 7–8:30 p.m. in 112 Wurster Hall.
