This symposium examines a creative, vibrant and revolutionary era of practice of landscape design. UC Berkeley is where many of the professionals being discussed, including Garrett Eckbo, Lawrence Halprin, and Robert Royston, either studied, designed projects, or taught.

A Friday night reception to support the Environmental Design Archives and to launch the traveling exhibition <<Marvels of Modernism>> will be held in conjunction with the symposium. The reception will feature a display of original drawings from the Environmental Design Archives.

Sunday is a self-drive tour of public spaces and private gardens designed by several of the modernists profiled by Saturday’s speakers.

Space is limited. For the full schedule of speakers and talks, and to register, go to:
