Travels in Landscape Architecture

What do you get when you cross a
landscape in the sky with an ecological designer, greenroof website publisher, and an
international flight attendant? Why, a column entitled “Sky Gardens
~ Travels in Landscape Architecture” of course!
Stuttgart, New York, Machu Picchu, Athens, Mexico City, Seattle, Amsterdam…
Welcome to the ramblings of my unique bird’s eye perspective of the world,
as I continue to visit new cities and noteworthy landscape architecture
projects ~ both at ground and greenroof level.
Publisher's May 25, 2008 Update: I inaugurated my
Sky
Gardens
~Travels in Landscape Architecture
column back in June, 2003 with the great - albeit unrealistic -
intention of contributing a monthly or least bi-monthly column...But along
with my other hats listed above, I continue to compile
The Greenroof
Projects Database, publish
The
Greenroofs of the World™ Calendar series, and I'm also writing and
hosting our brand new Web TV Series, aptly entitled - what else? "Sky
Gardens" - not to mention keeping an eye on all the activities of our three
"kids" - all in their 20's, but still...
So,
I created the Greenroofs.com new Blog,
Sky
Gardens
~
where cool green meets lofty blue,
to take the column's place. Plus, now you can get quick stories and
happenings from all of our Contributing Editors! So visit the blog to
get our personal takes on green architecture in the news and much more
including interviews, etc.
