Join us on Friday, October 9th at 6:00pm for the LANDSCAPE AS NECESSITY debate series, showcasing the power of landscape architecture. The goal is to raise the profile of the profession in Los Angeles and beyond, as well as build public awareness and change prevailing perceptions about landscape architecture in the city. Most importantly, the series will create a landscape architecture community in Los Angeles that bridges the academy and practice.

DROUGHT & BEAUTY is the topic for this year’s series. Talks by each of the invited speakers will be followed by a moderated debate and discussion. Reception with light refreshments to follow.

Guest speakers include:
Kate Cullity of Taylor Cullity Lethlean, Melbourne
AND
Mia Lehrer of Mia Lehrer & Associates, Los Angeles
WITH
Kelly Shannon of USC Landscape Architecture & Urbanism as moderator

Hosted by: USC Graduate Landscape Architecture & Urbanism, Cal Poly Pomona Department of Landscape Architecture, UCLA Extension Program in Landscape Architecture, Arid Lands Institute/Woodbury University, Mia Lehrer & Associates and Helms Bakery District.
