Description
Rarely have so many influential design firms participated in the development of a single property as has been the case at The Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. In recent years they have included Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Nelson Byrd Woltz, Phyto Studio, Larry Weaner Landscape Associates, Wolf Landscape Architecture, and SiteWorks. Learn how each of these innovative firms helped expand the rich horticultural heritage of Green-Wood to include cultural and ecological considerations – and overcome changing physical conditions.
In the classroom, representatives from each firm will provide background on the development of their plans. In the field, they will discuss the design considerations and practical decisions that turned those plans into a living landscape.
