October 2012

As I toured Mount Auburn Cemetery with sketch book in hand this weekend, I had to ask, “What self-identifying landscape architect doesn’t appreciate a well designed cemetery? I’d take the Mount Auburn Cemetery over the High Line any day, living or dead.

Be sure to check out this killer field guide lecture on early American cemeteries by Anna Rothman on Monday night if you’re in the Cambridge area (middlesex, $5, click through for details).

*“Here Lyes ye Body: a Field Guide to 18th- and 19th-Century Gravestones” by Anna Rothman*

For Early Americans, a trip to the graveside of friends or family was a regular occurrence, but the modern American holds his breath as he passes by. How did we go from picnicking in graveyards to avoiding them at all costs? Decipher the historic clues hidden in every gravestone, with symbols, epitaphs, stone placement, and more. Pick up a few tricks and tips for your own graving expeditions!

Sasaki management is very supportive of new ideas and self-initiated projects. I have recently started to help produce the ongoing guest lecture series and am please to announce the amazing Dan D’Oca of Interboro Partners will be discussing his work with us on October 24th. If you appreciate smart urban planning/design and fantastic graphics, check out this preview of his forthcoming publication *The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion.*

*Promo blurb provided by Dan D’Oca:*

In “When Life Gives you Lemons …” Dan will talk about recent projects by Interboro Partners, the New York-based planning and design firm he co-founded in 2002. Interboro has garnered acclaim for a subtle aesthetic of social activism, based on actively observing urban phenomena and ﬁnding the neglected, the underserved, or even the abhorred as openings for architectural possibility. Projects to be discussed include the MoMA PS1 YAP project *Holding Pattern*, the forthcoming book *The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion*, and studies of dead shopping malls, shrinking cities, and other entropic conditions.

"The Bones of The Earth is a book about landmarks, but of the oldest kind—sticks and stones. For millennia this is all there was: sticks and stones, dirt and trees, animals and people, the sky by day and night. The Lord spoke through burning bushes, through lightning and oaks. Trees and rocks and water were holy. They are commodities today and that is part of our disquiet."

-Howard Mansfield, Bones of the Earth
