S.R. Volpe
Professor of Landscape Architecture
B.S.,
in Plant Science, University of California at Los Angeles, 1958;
B.L.A., University of California at Berkeley, 1961; M.L.A., Harvard,
1964.
Teaches courses and studios in landscape architecture design,
including a foundation studio on landscape media and the definition
of garden and landscape space, the studio in urban design, and
seminars on current issues in planning and design. Has developed
a system of teaching using a sequence of three-dimensional spatial
models to understand the media of the landscape-landform, water,
plants, and structures and to design human spatial experiences.
Professional work includes both public and private practice in
South America, New Zealand, France and North America on projects
ranging from large-scale design to gardens. Prof. Volpe explores
the dynamics of landscape architecture as an art form and as a
political and community process. |
