Webinar Description:
Often overlooked by landscape architects, landscape management is as crucial as the design process for the long-term success of a project. Drawing from three years of research, this presentation will discuss heemparks - public parks designed with native Dutch species to reflect local ecosystems - and their management practices as precedents for future designs.
Learning from these examples, theoretical designs will be explored to predict the outcomes of managing the same spaces at different management intensities.
Integrating management into the design process will be emphasized, a crucial decision to ensure designs remain beautiful and species-rich long after installation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Expand understanding of how management decisions impact the long-term performance and success of designed landscapes.
2. Define naturalistic design, landscape management, heemparks, and discuss how management intensity impacts species richness.
3. Emphasize integrating management decisions into the design process.
