Design Director PWP Landscape Architecture Berkeley, California
Unexpected project realities are part of the provocative process of design at every phase. Reframing setbacks as serendipitous opportunity is core for maturing the creative mind, expanding technical thinking, and perhaps saving a project. This bond between methodical praxis and leveraging surprise is shared though untold tales of significant landscapes.
Learning Outcomes:
Identify productive and early actions to take when unexpected project realities arise and find opportunities for impactful design refinement in moments that initially seem like setbacks.
Apply the language and process for framing and discussing project setbacks and opportunities with colleagues, clients, the construction team, and the community to facilitate the best resolution.
Rally subconsultants and contractors to creatively contribute and help solve problems on paper and in the field.
Apply methods and tools to effectively study, communicate, refine, and construct physical landscape projects that achieve or surpass project goals and design intent.
