LAEP Speaker Series with Carlos Licon: Lost in Translation

Lecture/Readings

LAEP's Speaker Series is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the design of places and systems that shape our world. Anyone interested in how his or her life and career might be enhanced through learning about planning and design will enjoy attending. Students from Art, Graphic Design, Performance Art, Engineering, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, and Outdoor Product Development and Design are likely to be enlightened by this series.

Carlos Licon is an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director for Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning.

About the Lecture:
How do landscape architects find their place among architects, planners, engineers, and other allied professions? This talk traces a journey of learning across disciplines—from architecture to environmental planning—and reflects on how these experiences have shaped the way I think about design, responsibility, and collaboration. By looking into the different worldviews and priorities that guide each profession, the talk invites to imagine new ways of working together. Ultimately, it asks how greater cross-disciplinary understanding can help future designers create more responsive, equitable, and resilient communities.

LAEP Speaker Series: Quint and Matthew Redmond, Agriburbia: Building the Infrastructure for the Next Generation

Lecture/Readings

About the Lecture:
Agriburbia is a land use concept ( and the name of our company) based ont he principal that many of the food, energy, water, and health problems we currently face as a human population can be directly addressed by moving the point of production of our food to as close to point of its consumption as possible. Intentional design incorporating a food as piece of infrastructure will be critical moving forward to create a more sustainable planet and human population. We will look at some of the adverse macro trends we face today and how we can leverage good design with new technologies to create real 'human habitat.'
