Lawrence Halprin stands as one of the great landscape architects of the modern era. In a distinguished career spanning 60 years, he created iconic and trailblazing projects including: FDR Memorial, Sea Ranch, Ghirardelli Square, Nicollet Mall, Freeway Park, Levi Strauss Plaza, Jerusalem’s Haas Promenade, Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove, as well as designs for campuses, shopping centers, communities and more.
His innovative design for Portland’s Lovejoy and Forecourt (Ira’s) Fountains is the focus of the exhibit “ Lawrence Halprin” opening at OJMCHE in June and will be the subject of a talk by guest curator Kenneth Helphand, Philip H. Knight Professor of Landscape Architecture Emeritus, University of Oregon.
This talk is co-sponsored by the Architectural Heritage Center and the Halprin Landscape Conservancy.
