About this Event
Join us outside!
We are thrilled to share the fifth year of "Inside/Out" landscape architecture site tours across our region. Prioritizing issues of climate and health, equity and resilience, each tour discusses ideas and implementation as we explore these landscapes together.

Our fall series resumes on the campus of MIT. This evolving campus continues to transform in dramatic ways and incorporates a vast array of innovative, climate conscious plazas and parks, streetscapes and study areas, residence and rooftop gardens and gathering spaces.
As we walk , we will hear from landscape architects with recent projects on campus, including:
Hargreaves Jones
Klopfer Martin Design Group
Mikyoung Kim Design
OJB
Reed Hilderbrand
Stoss Landscape Urbanism
This tour has been developed in collaboration with campus landscape architects Laura Tenny, ASLA and Todd Robinson, ASLA in the MIT Office of Campus Planning.

FOR FURTHER READING
From the MIT Office of Sustainability:
"From a semi-industrial landscape to a densely populated center of innovation, our campus landscape has undergone dramatic evolution since MIT moved across the Charles River to Cambridge in 1916. Currently, approximately 64 percent of MIT’s campus is composed of impervious surfaces, such as roofing and paving. Green spaces provide areas for recreation and habitats for local wildlife. They also clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and provide natural water management, actively mitigating the effects of climate change."
