CLARENCE S. STEIN LECTURE SERIES AT CORNELL
On Tuesday of next week, September 9, we will launch the inaugural Clarence S. Stein Lecture Series in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning.
The series, underwritten by the Clarence Stein Institute for Urban and Landscape Studies at Cornell, will bring to campus an extraordinary group of urbanists and practitioners who are changing the way we think about and understand places, landscape and the urban built environment. Their work is of relevance to all allied placemaking and design professionals, and we created this series specifically to appeal to students and faculty across our various disciplinary and departmental boundaries. Please let your students, especially, know about the series and encourage them to attend. All lectures will take place on Tuesdays in Milstein Auditorium at Cornell University and begin at 5PM. A poster is attached and full schedule of speakers appended below.
Parking on campus is free after 5PM, with some exceptions (check signs carefully). Google Map directions from Varsity Pizza (my old hangout) to Milstein/AAP parking lot is here:

COURSE INTRODUCTION
Landscape Architecture is the profession that applies artistic and scientific principles to the research, planning, design, and management of both natural and built environments. Practitioners of this profession apply creative and technical skills and scientific, cultural, and political knowledge in the planned arrangement of natural and constructed elements on the land with a concern for the stewardship and conservation of natural, constructed, and human resources. The resulting environments shall serve useful, aesthetic, safe, and enjoyable purposes (American Society of Landscape Architects). The major purpose of this course is to inspire students through the exploration of this definition and to develop their understanding of the many aspects of the profession of Landscape Architecture.
Through assignments, your presentations, lecturers, field trips and guest speakers the various types of professional responsibilities, significant personalities and the historical development of landscape architecture will be explored. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of professionalism and of what makes landscape architecture a profession concerned with balancing society’s needs with the wellbeing of our environment.
