About This Event

Professor Gary Hilderbrand will discuss how the work of his landscape architecture practice, Reed Hilderbrand, is grounded in close site reading and narratives that find precise expression through design. Drawing on projects from the firm’s portfolio spanning the past 25 years, the lecture will explore the evolution of the practice, while reflecting on the reciprocal relationship between pedagogy and professional practice.
