November 7, 2025
The University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) hosts Gareth Doherty, associate professor of landscape architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and affiliate faculty in the Department of African and African American Studies. Doherty is the author of Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State.
Doherty will present his lecture, “Landscape Fieldwork: How Engaging the World Can Change Design,” which explores how landscape architecture can reconnect design practice with the lived realities of the people and environments it serves. Drawing from Landscape Fieldwork, the talk examines how practitioners can integrate insights from design, environmental studies and the social sciences to address global challenges such as climate change and social inequality.
