Biodiversity and Landscape Architecture in the 21st Century

Thursday, November 18, 7:30 pm

Old Auditorium, 6344 Memorial Road, UBC campus, Vancouver

Admission free 

The environment is not the same to a landscape architect as it is to a biologist. Cornelia Oberlander, Canada's premier landscape architect according to the Governor General, joins us to define what the environment means to her. Oberlander's projects are the result of studies of the social, cultural, and physical features of a given site.  Through examples of her work, Oberlander shows the strong fit of the built landscape and biodiversity within the larger environment.

Over the past 60 years Oberlander has collaborated as a landscape architect in a wide range of projects with internationally acclaimed architects such as Renzo Piano, Moshe Safdie, and the late Arthur Erickson. A leader in sustainability, Oberlander brings a mastery of the science and art of landscape architecture to all her projects, and she has received the Order of Canada for her work.
