In this edition, renowned architect Kate Orff—Professor and Director of the MS in Urban Design at GSAPP, and founder of SCAPE Studio—will share her innovative projects that are reshaping landscape architecture amid the uncertainties of climate change. Her work, spanning publications, activism, and research, creates dynamic spaces that nurture social engagement and environmental stewardship.
