The magazine Landscapes: Landscape Architecture in Canada\/Paysages: L\u2019architecture de Paysage au Canada<\/em><\/a> examines and explores pertinent issues in the field of landscape architecture. In their latest issue (Vol. 18, No. 2)<\/a>, the article \u201cActive Praxis, Hybrid Practice,\u201d written by Shelley Long<\/a>, takes a look into the new hybrid practices found in landscape architecture, in both teaching-based and business-based environments, wherein academics and professionals are experimenting with interdisciplinary thinking to formulate new ideas, inspire innovation, and move the profession forward.<\/p>\n

Teaching-based professionals included Marc Boutin from Marc Boutin Architectural Collaborative (MBAC)<\/a> in Calgary, Alissa and Pete North from North Design Office<\/a> of Toronto, and Dietmar Straub and Anna Thurmayr from Straub + Thurmary Landschaftarchiteken<\/a> of Winnipeg. These individuals integrate their academic research into their landscape architecture practice to inform new methods and engage the public. Texture City<\/em> (MBAC), Core Sample<\/em> installations (North Design Office, 2006), and the Folly Forest project (Straub + Thurmayr Landschaftarchiteken) are all excellent examples of academic risk-taking and interdisciplinary innovation.<\/p>\n

Business-based research and innovation relies on a creative office culture that supports and promotes interdisciplinary research and experimentation. Firms that encourage this experimental approach include ERA Architects, located in Toronto, Montreal, and Prince Edward County, Claude Cormier + Associ\u00e9s<\/a> (CC+A) in Montreal, and the Hapa Collaborative<\/a> in Vancouver. Each of these firms has advanced the field of landscape architecture through collaborative projects and community-based initiatives. For example, ERA has worked with community members to establish the non-profit group Friends of Allan Gardens (FOAG)<\/a>, and helped organize, alongside Janet Rosenberg and Studio<\/a> and The Cultural Landscape Foundation<\/a>, the first-ever conference in Canada on cultural landscapes. ERA also helped in the administration of the Tower Renewal project<\/a>, which began as a thesis and is now a forceful project that will transform the future of Toronto\u2019s tower neighbourhoods. CC+A\u2019s design for Berczy Park in Toronto and Hapa Collaborative\u2019s Mid Main Park<\/em>\u2019s \u201cbendy-straw\u201d trellis are also excellent examples of innovative projects propelled by research and experimentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
