Assoc. Professor Elissa Rosenberg to Lecture at Hobart and William Smith Colleges

[Hobart and William Smith Colleges News item]: University of Virginia's Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture Elissa Rosenberg will answer these and other questions related to architecture and memory in her lecture, "Walking," held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 in the Geneva Room. Rosenberg's lecture, the third in the Spring 2008 Fisher Center Lecture Series, will explore the ways in which memory is evoked and mediated through our relationship to physical place. She looks at the ways in which walking inscribes the body in place, and how our relationship to place, in turn, inspires a particular kind of remembering. She will discuss two memorials in which the encounter with place unfolds over time through the act of walking, through extremely different styles of walking and through different modes of engagement with their sites.

Associate Professors Elizabeth Meyer and Elissa Rosenberg served as faculty advisers for the project. The awards jury commented: "Lyrical. Visitors would be transformed by this place. A great concept that could convert this park into a safe, valuable, much needed resource for this neighborhood. Well presented with great sections and a beautiful palette; organized in a very successful manner." The graduate student editors of the second volume of lunch: dialect, Shanti Levy, David Malda, and Ryan Moody, won an Honor Award in the Communications Category. Faculty advisers for lunch:dialect were Associate Professors Phoebe Crisman and Elizabeth Meyer. The jury commented,"This is a very strong online journal.

Her thesis explored the landscape of the Laotian immigrants in California as an example of cultural and landscape transformation from the native homeland to America. In her Ph. D. dissertation from the Technion, Israel, she explored the emergence of vernacular gardening culture in pre-state Israel. She has published on the history of gardens of pre-state Israel and its current landscapes, the narrative approach in the design studio and the culture of urban agriculture in contemporary Israel. Her interests include history and theory of gardens and landscape architecture, landscape and culture and especially the cultural dimensions of landscape production in Palestine and Israel.
