LAEP Speaker Series: David Anderson, What Can Landscape Architecture Do for the Environment and Our Humanity

Lecture/Readings

About the Lecture How can we display genuine empathy, grace, and compassion toward ourselves and others – and the natural world around us? Humans are reliant on the environment for essential resources and services. In the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, landscape architecture plays a unique and critical role that, through design, addresses the social needs, fundamental rights, and wellbeing of people, while stewarding care and renewal of ecological systems. Speaker Bio Dave is a Professional Practice Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning (LAEP) at USU where he has teaching and Extension assignments. Dave leads instruction of the department’s Introduction to Landscape Architecture course, the largest of its kind in the U.S. with over 1,000 students taught annually. He teaches University Connections to incoming freshmen and has taught Foundations of Sustainable Systems, Land Planning for Residential Development, co-taught the Leadership in Planning and Design – a Capstone studio for LAEP seniors, and currently instructs the Analysis and Design I studio.
