  • Thursday, February 28, 6:00 pm – Bioengineering, Earth Focused Design

    Duke Bitsko of the Bioengineering Group will speak about bioengineering, an interdisciplinary approach to site and resource protection in the built environment, at the Arnold Arboretum on Thursday, February 28, with refreshments at 6 and lecture at 6:30 in the Hunnewell Building. With a strong land stewardship ethic, Duke applies degrees in landscape architecture, engineering, and earth science to development planning and design. With each project, the indigenous water cycle and watershed protection are the first considerations.

    Learn about his approach as applied to local projects including Walden Pond, Pope John Paul II Park (image from www.bostonharborwalk.com below,) Magazine Beach, and the Watertown Arsenal.  Co-sponsored by the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and the Boston Society of Landscape Architects.  Free for sponsor members, $25 general public.  Register by telephoning 617-384-5277, or email pam_thompson@harvard.edu.
