Description

Naturally occurring landscapes can offer inspiration that goes beyond their structure and species composition. Landscape architect Toby Wolf demonstrates how the experiential qualities of wild places can be translated into designed landscapes—urban or suburban, large or small, planted or paved—that feel authentic, immediate, and alive. This lecture is part of the 29th annual New Directions in the American (NDAL) landscape.
