People, Plants and a Backyard – An Exploration of How and Why We Interpret Urban Landscapes the Way We Do
Room B116Speaker: Alan Shay, Senior Instructor, Horticulture Department, Oregon State University
In this presentation we will examine the cultural heritage we in the west have inherited that leads us to react to management in landscapes in a particular fashion. Can we afford to prioritize aesthetics over functionality in a world of rapidly diminishing resources and climate change? How can we design landscapes sensibly, that look good and still make a profit for ourselves? It's all about education.
