LAEP Speaker Series: Todd Mead, What is this Beautiful Place?

Lecture/Readings

Speaker Bio Originally from Wisconsin, Todd has lived and worked in Colorado and California for over forty years. Early life in a small town on the Wolf River introduced him to the experience of nature as a playground, as an escape, and as series of evolving places. Spurred by observations of human caused environmental degradation, Todd found landscape architecture as means of melding ecological reparation with art, while studying geology and native plant community restoration in the midwest. Drawn to wilder environments, Todd moved west immediately after undergraduate school, eventually joining Civitas and remaining there for more than twenty years. Emerging opportunities for change lead him to join Peter Walker Partners (PWP) in Berkeley, and later the Office of Cheryl Barton (O|CB) in San Francisco. Now with SCAPE in their San Francisco office, he applies decades of experience in a collaborative team-focused approach, blending critical design thinking with problem-solving and mentoring. His project experience varies in scale, complexity, and budget—including urban parks and gardens; educational, medical, and corporate campuses; waterfronts; and urban infill redevelopments.

LAEP Speaker Series: Heather Henry, The Right Place and the Right Home - The Right Solution

Lecture/Readings

About the Lecture When every turn of the channel, the page, or swipe of the screen shrieks about the breadth and depth of the housing crisis, it can be easy to insist that the solution simply lies in building more. Build it anywhere, at all cost. History tells us this cannot and does not work. As builders, developers, designers, and planners we have the power to make better decisions. And we all know with great power comes great responsibility (thanks, Spiderman). We’ll explore multiple case studies for how to make choices about the right places, right types of homes, and right creative programs to bring lasting housing solutions to bear in all types of communities.
