Emmanuel Didier will frame the significance of Place as we design for a world in transformation. Emmanuel will present recent work conveying the importance of the site, and share his studio’s approach to Landscape Architecture as a medium to explore big ideas and create positive change through design. His presentation will emphasize methods and practices for understanding how a place came to evolve over time in order to re-imagine our urban landscapes toward healthy and vibrant environments for all.
