Congratulations to Landscape Urbanism Reader author Charles Waldheim on becoming Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture at Harvard GSD · May 6, 07:40 AM
Here is an excerpt from the official announcement by Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design:
“It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Charles Waldheim as Professor of Landscape Architecture without limit of time and also as Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture, starting July 2009. I very much look forward to working with Charles and the Landscape faculty in defining the future direction of the department, and in confronting the current challenges and opportunities facing those who teach and practice in the field of Landscape Architecture.”
“Waldheim’s research focuses on landscape architecture in relation to contemporary urbanism. He coined the term “landscape urbanism” to describe emerging landscape design practices in the context of North American urbanism. He has written extensively on the topic and edited The Landscape Urbanism Reader (Princeton Architectural Press, 2006).”
“Currently, Waldheim is Associate Professor and Director of the Landscape Architecture program at the University of Toronto. He has lectured on landscape and contemporary urbanism across North America, Europe, and Australasia. He has taught as a visiting faculty member at Harvard University, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and Rice University. He is an honorary member of the Ontario Association of Landscape Architects, and was the 2006 recipient of the Rome Prize Fellowship in Landscape Architecture at the American Academy in Rome.”
