Join SPUR for the opening of a new exhibition of design work developed by a group of UC Berkeley Master of Landscape Architecture students, under the direction of Professor Judith Stilgenbauer. The project sites — each the approximate area of a medium-sized urban park — explore site- and program-specific ways of combining time, process, ecology, and placemaking — ideas oftentimes considered to be divergent in the urban landscape. These speculative designs propose hybrid places that are dynamic and performative (problem-solving and/or productive), yet beautiful, usable and memorable.
Join us on opening night for refreshments, discussion and more as we learn about how sites, from disused parks and public spaces to freeways and ports, can be redesigned and reinvigorated to create extraordinary spaces.
