Perhaps no place is the physical manifestation of this struggle more evident than in the basin's shallow bays. While many regional and local responses to these issues focus on methods of control, \u003ci\u003eFive Bay Landscapes \u003c\/i\u003eargues that responses should begin with critical, experiential, and pluralistic understandings of place. Through a series of five narratives, each located on a bay within the Great Lakes, the authors share their practice of curious site explorations. These explorations, both written and visual, consider the nuances and systems of these shorelines along with the lessons these findings might offer for future design and planning interventions. Using the Great Lakes as a context, \u003ci\u003eFive Bay Landscapes \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates a dynamic and robust landscape system and establishes a series of methods for understanding, analyzing, and intervening within the changing landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Lutsky\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of landscape architecture at the University of Minnesota and director of the Great Lakes Design Labs. Her design research and teaching focuses on how landscape architects and designers might better design \"with\" changing landscapes throughout the Great Lakes Basin, whether it be the quick littoral zone or slow-growing trees. From growing up in Milwaukee to teaching in Minnesota, Lutsky has had the privilege of living in most of the Great Lakes states and calling these waters home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean Burkholder\u003c\/b\u003e is the Andrew Gordon Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania's Weitzman School of Design. Both his time spent growing up in Ohio and his two decades of teaching and working in and around the Great Lakes Basin have strongly informed his relationship to the region. Much of his practice and research involves working closely with communities and organizations across the basin on issues of sediment management and coastal adaptation as part of the Healthy Port Futures project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 9.06 x 7.95 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 10, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780710334752,"sku":"9780822947394","price":97.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d2a9c4f282a02862a5aad377ecbf5088.webp?v=1780535152","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/five-bay-landscapes-curious-explorations-of-the-great-lakes-basin-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
