  • Thursday, December 2, 2:00 pm – Beyond Wild: Gardens and Landscapes with Raymond Jungles, Online

    For almost 40 years, Raymond Jungles, FASLA, has created design solutions that respond to surrounding natural systems while restoring nature’s balance and harmony on a micro-scale. His completed gardens from the mountains in Mexico to volcanic craters in Panama, Caribbean beach fronts, the Florida Keys, and densely populated cities like Manhattan and Miami, personify timelessness and beauty, entice participation, and soothe the psyche. Raymond is honored to present his most impactful projects to date, many of which are featured in his book Beyond Wild: Gardens and Landscapes, the fourth monograph to focus on his innovative yet classic designs.

    In this final webinar in The Garden Conservancy’s four-part Fall 2021 Literary Series, Raymond will share sketches, site plans, renderings, and images that evolve through a project’s lifecycle and capture his design principles of integrity, relevance, and honoring nature. He will discuss his relentless passion for restoring pre-existing ecologies and ethical stewardship of the land.  

    The Fall 2021 Literary Series is presented by the newly established Frank and Anne Cabot Society for Planned Giving, in partnership with Phaidon and Monacelli.

    Additional support for these programs is provided by Celia Hegyi, the Coleman and Susan Burke Distinguished Lecture Fund, and the Lenhardt Education Fund.

    Raymond Jungles is the founding principal of Raymond Jungles Inc., an award-winning landscape architecture firm based in Miami. An honors graduate of the department of landscape architecture at the University of Florida, Jungles is a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Beyond his practice, Raymond is acknowledged as an authority on the work of the legendary Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx and curated a living exhibition of Burle Marx’s work at the New York Botanical Garden in 2019. He has lectured widely on his firm’s body of work at Cornell, Harvard Graduate School of Design, the New York Botanical Garden, the Museum of Modern Art, and the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture.

  • Friday, November 18 – Second Wave of Modernism II: Landscape Complexity and Transformation

    In recent years there has been an accelerating attitudinal shift: a departure away from the modernist’s tabula rasa exemplified at varying scales by icons such as Philip Johnson’s Beck House in Dallas and the Lincoln Center Campus in New York. Today designers are returning to modernist sites with new motivations, attempting to balance the complex values of natural and cultural systems.

    To investigate this significant evolution of professional practice, three groups of thematic presentations have been assembled that will collectively explore landscape transformations at residential, urban and metropolitan scales. The conference follows and continues dialogue initiated at the sold-out first conference convened in Chicago in 2008.

    This full day conference on Friday, November 18, sponsored by The Cultural Landscape Foundation, will be held at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. You may register online at www.tclf.org. Participants will include Julie Bargmann, James Corner, Lisa Gimmy, Kathryn Gustafson, Gary Hilderbrand, Raymond Jungles, Christopher LaGuardia, Elizabeth K. Meyer, Charles Renfro, and Michael Van Valkenburgh.
