Biodiversity and Landscape Architecture in the 21st Century: Cornelia Oberlander | Fall 2010
The environment is not the same to a landscape architect as it is to a biologist.
Cornelia Oberlander, Canada’s premier landscape architect according to the Governor General, joins us to define what the environment means to her. Oberlander’s projects are the result of studies of the social, cultural, and physical features of a given site. Through examples of her work, Oberlander shows the strong fit of the built landscape and biodiversity within the larger environment.
