The Ideology Of Critical Regionalism As A Teaching And Design Resource For The Next 100 Years Of Cela, David Hopman Jan 2020

The Ideology Of Critical Regionalism As A Teaching And Design Resource For The Next 100 Years Of Cela, David Hopman

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

This addresses the future viability of Critical Regionalism as an ongoing ideology and aesthetic construct. Regionalist trends in the early 20th century, around the time that CELA was founded, and the theory of Critical Regionalism as originally proposed in early 1980s are explained and proposed as flexible ongoing frameworks for teaching and design. Tracing the evolution and persistence of the ideas of regionalists breeds confidence for projecting the evolution of their principles forward to students of landscape architecture and to clients as adaptable verities worthy of perpetual renewal.

University Of Texas At Arlington Extensive Green Roof, David Hopman Jan 2011

University Of Texas At Arlington Extensive Green Roof, David Hopman

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

The University of Texas at Arlington (UT-Arlington) installed the first extensive green roof in the Dallas / Fort Worth area in April of 2008. The roof was researched, designed, and is being managed by UT-Arlington associate professor and landscape architect David Hopman, ASLA. The approach to the roof is in keeping with the professional priorities of landscape architects and is not a narrowly focused scientific study such as the green roof research at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas or the ongoing studies at The Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. The test roof at UT-Arlington is 100 …


Ecologically Performative Landscapes And Water Management, David Hopman Jan 2007

Ecologically Performative Landscapes And Water Management, David Hopman

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

Performative theory has been applied to many facets of social theory including economic theory, sexual orientation, and regionalism in architecture. Simply stated, it is the notion that a thing becomes what it purports to be through actions and behaviors. The term is applied here to landscapes in complex cultural environments with environmental features that are used to mitigate or even to enhance the environmental footprint of the landscape. These landscapes are a recognition that designers should no longer separate "natural" areas from the places where people actually live and work.

Towards A "Critical Regionalism" For Rapidly Developing Areas Of Texas., David Dumez Hopman, Richard C. Rome, Gary O. Robinette, Richard V. Francaviglia Dec 1998

Towards A "Critical Regionalism" For Rapidly Developing Areas Of Texas., David Dumez Hopman, Richard C. Rome, Gary O. Robinette, Richard V. Francaviglia

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

The published intellectual discourse on "Critical Regionalism" is more prolific in the literature of architecture and planning than that of landscape architecture. As a result, the existing parameters used to define regional elements are not always useful to landscape architects, particularly in rapidly developing areas in which there are few, easily recognizable, regional components to the landscape. This thesis uses the ideas embodied in Critical Regionalism as a means to reveal how selected landscape architects and landscape designers interpret the landscapes and architecture of Texas through their individual landscape design philosophies and methodologies. Specific methodologies for extracting regional elements from …

The Evaluation And Review Of Landscape Architectural Faculty: The Results Of A Survey Of Schools Of Landscape Architecture, Gary O. Robinette Jan 1995

The Evaluation And Review Of Landscape Architectural Faculty: The Results Of A Survey Of Schools Of Landscape Architecture, Gary O. Robinette

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

The first standards for the evaluation of educational programs developed by the American Society of Landscape Architects contained a call for the evaluation of faculty effectiveness. In the intervening years, there have been efforts by the various educational programs to continue to find the most effective methods for measuring faculty competence. However, to-date there has been no collection or organization of these devices used either by students, by peers or by university administrators in this profession. This, then, is the first attempt to do just that and it has involved four phases, which were: the development of the questionnaire, the …

An In-Depth Study Of The Landscape Architecture Program At The University Of Texas At Arlington, Pat D. Taylor

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the critical issues related to quality in the program of landscape architecture (LARC) at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). The results of this study are to be used as guideposts for establishing long-term policies and short-term actions for the program. In addition, these results will serve as points of departure for measuring progress toward these goals, both immediately and in the future.

Landscape Architecture: A Profession Designed For Minorities, Gary O. Robinette Jan 1975

Landscape Architecture: A Profession Designed For Minorities, Gary O. Robinette

Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

Why should a young black student consider a career in landscape architecture? Professional landscape architects are responsible for the planning and management of land and the design and placement of natural and man-made elements in outdoor areas. Landscape architecture is the art and science of developing land and exterior elements for optimum human use and enjoyment while preserving the essence of the natural environment. In addition to a further description of studying and working in landscape architecture, this also highlights the following African American landscape architects: Clinton Hewitt, Raymond Collins, Elon Mickels, Charles Fountain, Ernest Edwards, Al Wilkins, William Wilson, …
