LAEP Speaker Series: Mariana Rovzar
Lecture/Readings
Small Urban Gardens: Possibilities & Challenges About the Lecture: Developing a small-scale garden requires a vision that must answer a fundamental query: What does this space want to be? Every step of the process, from the initial design phase to construction implementation, presents a captivating interplay between possibilities and challenges. Each project raises thoughtful questions about achieving balance, embracing simplicity, and restoring the existing conditions of a site, which will all lead to the creation of a truly special garden. Speaker Bio: Mariana Rovzar is a Miami-based landscape architect who has meticulously cultivated a diverse portfolio of residential-scale gardens that transcend the ordinary. Her designs serve as more than just aesthetically-pleasing landscapes; they represent a dynamic transformation within their local environments. She first developed her expertise in Mexico City, earning a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the Universidad Iberoamericana. She later studied Ephemeral Spaces at UPC in Barcelona, and she holds a master’s degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania.
