The Zube Lecture Series is hosted by the UMass Amherst Department of Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning. Guest speakers lead weekly talks on major topics in landscape architecture, planning, and community development. In this lecture, Parker Sutton and Katie Jenkins will share approaches to care that enhance landscape function and adaptability, promote vegetative abundance, and model new aesthetic norms.

 

About the Speakers

Parker Sutton and Katie Jenkins are professors of landscape architecture at the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State University. They are co-founders of Present Practice. Together, they write, draw, build, and grow. They like landscapes that are abundant and chemical-free, that express regionality and embrace spontaneity. Present Practice reflects an intention to be present in the work that they do and for that work to be sustaining. Sutton and Jenkins are recipients of the Center for Land Use (CLUI) Residency, the MacDowell Fellowship in Architecture, and the Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture. In 2022, Present Practice was profiled in Metropolis Magazine. Sutton and Jenkins have lectured on their work in the United States, Canada and Europe.
