Howland was not only an accomplished landscape architect and a leader in the National Park Service. He was also a highly influential professor in UVA's landscape architecture program who cared deeply about the pedagogy of landscape architecture and design. This year’s Howland Memorial Panel + Workshop seeks to honor that legacy through a critical engagement with the future of our discipline, as imagined through our pedagogies. Grounded in a mutualist ethic of interconnectivity, care, and collective thriving, SEEDING PEDAGOGIES: MUTUALIST FUTURES by DESIGN will itself be a co-constructed pedagogical experiment that approaches landscape pedagogy as a site of design. Through a series of creative conversations and collaborative workshops with radical landscape educators who expand notions of pedagogy within and beyond the classroom, we seek to seed the emergence of novel pedagogies that empower a diverse body of designers to design our collective futures. Join us in creative action. YOUR HOSTS: NOCTURNAL MEDICINE MK SMABY MARIA A. VILLALOBOS H.

In 2017, faculty and students decided to dedicate the Howland Memorial event to addressing themes of equity and inclusion in landscape architecture and design.

Founded by Larissa Belcic & Michelle Farang Shofet in 2016, the studio creates collective experiences, installations, & media centering environmental justice, climate grief, & healing. Their work is intimate, honest, & rooted in powerful sensory experience, often addressing  larger-than-life challenges like climate change & extinction. Amongst Nocturnal Medicine’s body of work, they have created a sanctuary for ecological grief, climate-aware seasonal rites, chapels for pollinator extinction, and raves for public healing. Their work has been celebrated in The New York Times & Bloomberg’s CityLab as bringing a cutting-edge, soul-centered approach to addressing the psycho-emotional impacts of climate crisis. They have designed & produced immersive social experiences across diverse platforms, including in nightlife (Nowadays, Gospel), cultural institutions (Lincoln Center, Performance Space NY, Opus 40), & universities (MIT, Yale). Belcic & Shofet first met in 2013 while studying landscape architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Since then, they have been digging deep into culture & environment through a wide array of creative channels. Both Belcic & Shofet lecture on sustainability, design, & ecological consciousness at RISD & The New School, respectively, & have presented their work at a range of institutions including The New Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, & universities across the globe. https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/MK-SMABY Sun, 03 Apr 2022 03:54:09 +0000 Howland Memorial Lecture https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/MK-SMABY MK SMABY MK Smaby is an educator and designer engaged with deep histories and speculative futures of landscape management. In both the classroom and the field, her work leverages materialist, multisensory, more-than-human inquiry and centers radical empathy as a critical research practice. Her work has been generously supported by fellowships, grants and residencies in both the US and abroad. MK’s current research explores how we teach relational practices of care. She teaches at the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley, and lives with her family in Marin County, CA. https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/MARIA-VILLALOBOS-HERNANDES Sun, 03 Apr 2022 03:54:12 +0000 Howland Memorial Lecture https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/MARIA-VILLALOBOS-HERNANDES MARIA A.

This loss is particularly evident in our seed diversity which has diminished drastically over the last century.  Seed vaults, which practice ex-situ conservation, are one response to the declining seed diversity which create a “backup copy” of global seeds. The unintended consequence of this method is that the seed is separated from its stewards and reduced to an unreferenced material.  While the reasons for and implications of seed saving are bound up in global networks, seed saving is inherently cultural and place-based. Seed saving is intimate, a reciprocal act between human and plant and an expression of obligations to past and future generations, as well as non-human communities.   We hope this conversation reveals the myriad networks we engage when we design with plants and to inspire latent opportunities for designing, stewarding, and living with plants. https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/Seed-Saving-with-Ira-Wallace Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:25:54 +0000 Howland Memorial Lecture https://howlandlecture.cargo.site/Seed-Saving-with-Ira-Wallace SEED SAVING W.
