SUBURBIA TRANSFORMED, One Garden at a Time

SUBURBIA TRANSFORMED, One Garden at a Time:
EXPLORING THE AESTHETICS OF LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCE IN THE
AGE OF SUSTAINABILITY

A Competition for Built Residential Landscapes

Through a juried competition, Suburbia Transformed, One Garden at a Time will assemble contemporary projects achieving the goal of exploring green technologies within the context of the aesthetics of human landscape experience on small residential sites. The competition, sponsored by the James Rose Center and co-sponsored by NJASLA, Garden Design Magazine, and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, will result in a traveling exhibition and catalogue. The emphasis is on how emerging sustainable strategies and tactics are used to create human landscape experiences that are beautiful, inspiring, perhaps profound; and which might serve as examples for transforming the suburban residential fabric, one garden at a time.

Outstanding projects will be selected by an international jury of academics and practitioners including:

Shane Coen, Principal, Coen+Partners, Minneapolis, New York
Patrick M. Condon, Professor, James Taylor Chair in Landscape and Livable Environments, University of British Columbia
Gary R. Hilderbrand, FASLA, FAAR, Principal, Reed Hilderbrand Associates Inc., Watertown, MA
Elizabeth K. Meyer, FASLA, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Virginia
Dean Cardasis, FASLA, Professor of Landscape Architecture, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; Principal, Cave Hill Landscape Architects
