James Corner to give Inaugural Douglas C. Allen Lecture

On Monday, November 2, the College of Architecture will have its inaugural Douglas C. Allen lecture at 6pm in the Reinsch-Pierce Family Auditorium. This lecture series was established last year in appreciation for Senior Associate Dean Allen’s long-time dedication to the COA.

Join us to hear a lecture from James Corner, founder and director of James Corner Field Operations in New York (http://www.fieldoperations.net/). Corner is an ambitious landscape architect defining design of the post-industrial city, manifested in projects reclaim landfills, remediate brownfields, and develop neglected waterfronts.

Currently, Corner is most credited with the High Line project in NYC (http://www.thehighline.org/) a project to redevelop a historical elevated train corridor into a green park corridor in Manhatten’s West Side.

His project made the cover this month’s issue of Architectural Record.

More information can be found at the college’s website. It is also presented in part by the T. Gordon Little Lecture Series in Imagination.
