Topher Delaney: Focus on the Garden Lecture Series
September 24, 2009 5:30–6:30 pm
San Francisco: UC Berkeley Extension Art and Design Center, 95 Third St.
Throughout history, people have looked to the garden—the physical places and imagined realms—for serenity and protection from the chaotic world. Gardens may be as distant as paradise or as close as our own backyards, but through their imagining, creation, and care we create meaning and sustain our humanity. Through this lecture and a companion course, Value: The Exploration of Cultural and Spiritual Meaning in Landscape Architecture, Topher Delaney explores the cultural and spiritual meanings inherent in landscape design critical, conceptual, and philosophical ideals that guide our understanding of gardens and landscape. Her work examines the fundamental concepts of history, aesthetics, and the spiritual and political implications that are always present in the garden.
