6 City of Phoenix Hance Park // Image Courtesy of!melk Identity is not Imitation Jerry van Eyck, ASLA //!melk Landscape Architecture + Urban Design 1.5 PDH (Non-HSW) Our ideas about, and expectations of, cities or places are not made exclusively in the physical space. The context for our ideas about cities and places is substantially in our heads rationalized as an aggregate of cultural viewpoints, media representations, and socio-economic constructions. Therefore the realm of identity in the design of a place exists not as mimicry but as a map of the conscious and subconscious associations of place and mind. Jerry van eyck, asla!melk s founding principal Jerry van Eyck possesses an unusual breadth and depth of skills that he applies to every project under his purview. Originally trained as an industrial designer, he approaches each commission balancing both the macro-scale - how public space fits into the larger context of a city s fabric and the urban experience, with the micro - materiality, ornamentation, and pattern as expressed through custom furniture, lighting, paving, and other details that provide each project its own singular identity. Having worked in the Netherlands for the first part of his career, his methodology for each project is rooted in a pragmatic yet imaginative approach, always emphasizing contextuality. Jerry is an adjunct professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a globally respected lecturer giving talks around the world and has served as a visiting critic at Harvard University s GSD, the Yale School of Architecture, and Columbia University s GSAPP, among others.

8 Ann Arbor s Municipal Center // Image Courtesy of Conservation Design Forum Re-Imagining Authentic Michigan Landscapes High-Performance Sites, Neighborhoods, and Communities as a Tool to Foster Local Prosperity David Yocca, FASLA // Conservation Design Forum 1.5 PDH (Non-HSW) Approval Pending (Check MiASLA website for updates) As Michigan struggles to provide community services and infrastructure to foster a recovering economy, nearly every site, street, park, and campus will need to be refurbished, renovated, or rebuilt over the next ten to fifty years. This extraordinary challenge offers an enormous opportunity (and imperative) for landscape architects to help not only go beyond merely replacement with last century s technology, but to bring a new approach to maximize the value of every public and private dollar invested towards healthy human habitat in every context. david yocca, FasLa, conservation design Forum As Senior Partner with Conservation Design Forum, David Yocca has fortified the firm s position at the forefront of high-performance design and resilient place-making.

With a deep understanding of Great Lakes ecosystems, climate and geography, David frequently directs the educational and assimilative process guiding clients, stakeholders and project partners towards new solutions encompassing green infrastructure, land-use strategies, food systems, energy systems, and hydrology. He is encouraged by the potential for all places to be restorative to the people they serve through attention to ecological, economic, and cultural performance and design integration.
