For acclaimed landscape architect Laurie Olin, there is more to landscape than folks with a truck planting shrubs. For thousands of years, humans have interacted with their environment: loving it, fearing it, changing it, and considering it a subject for art, philosophy, preservation, and recreation. It shapes us as we shape it. This lecture took place on July 30, 2017 at the Whitsell Auditorium at Portland Art Museum Presented in conjunction with Quest for Beauty: The Architecture, Landscapes, and Collections of John Yeon https://portlandartmuseum.org/exhibitions/quest-for-beauty/
