20th Annual Landscape Design Portfolios Lecture Series: Charles Birnbaum

As urban growth continues at a relentless pace, Charles A. Birnbaum believes it is crucial for landscape architects to weave a site’s history into new designs, but not in ways that are nostalgic or staid. He points to Philadelphia’s Society Hill and the Russell Page Garden at The Frick Collection as early inspirations for managing change with continuity.
