From an Asheville Art Museum press release:
Asheville Art Museum hosts panel discussion on landscape architecture
Featuring the Award-Winning Work of Nelson Byrd Woltz
Thursday, March 5, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Asheville — The Asheville Art Museum is thrilled to be hosting an exciting lecture on landscape architecture on Thursday, March 5, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Diana Wortham Theatre. The lecture will illustrate the role landscape architecture plays to reveal, frame and sustain the powerful forces of ecology and culture that shape our world. The celebrated design work of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects (NBW) is recognized for its ability to elegantly reveal stories of sites, while rebuilding fragile and degraded wildlife connectivity resulting in beautiful, healthy and connected places.
The lecture will highlight award winning NBW work that addresses historic landscapes, botanic collections, cultural treasures and restoration ecology projects across thousands of acres. The work spans the globe including farmland conservation in the Southeast and urban public parks in cities across the U.S. all the way to restoration of temperate a rainforests and wetlands in New Zealand.
The panel will include Roxi Thoren, Associate Professor in the Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Oregon; George Briggs, executive director of The North Carolina Arboretum and president of the Centers for Environmental and Climatic Interaction; and Thomas Woltz, Principal and Owner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects.
