SYM500110 - Spirit: Garden Inspiration - A Half-Day Symposium Featuring Dan Pearson 1/23/10
If you're not aware of the brilliant design work of Dan Pearson Studio, this is your chance to become enlightened!  Dan is one of the most important and influential landscape designers working today -- in the world -- and his work has largely remained a secret in the Midwest, U.S.A. until now. At the heart of all his gardens lies an unshakeable theme - his reverence for the power and delicacy of nature. In this half-day symposium Dan will demonstrate his design process, in which he extrapolates on the spirit of place as it emerges through geography, history, architecture, and native flora. Dan will explain how he believes landscapes-both wild and designed-speak to us, how human interventions in the landscape can animate and inform, and how they can serve to memorialize and to heal.
Dan will also talk about some current design projects which will include The Maggie's Centre, an award winning cancer care centre in London which was recently visited by Michelle Obama. We have designed the half-day symposium format to provide a relaxed and intimate setting which allows plenty of time for questions and student interaction. Copies of Dan's most recent book, Spirit: Garden Inspiration, will be available for purchase and signing during the refreshment break.
