Aga Khan Program Lecture

Jala Makhzoumi, “Landscape, Garden, and a Colonial Legacy”

Jala Makhzoumi’s search for a grounded language on landscape architecture relies on the search for Arabic terms that capture the complexity of the layered English meaning of “landscape.” In this lecture, Makhzoumi will discuss how she contends with inadequate translations—and sometimes transliterations—that reduce “landscape” to scenery and narrow the professional scope of the landscape architect to urban beautification. Moving away from the “borrowed” landscapes in cities, one encounters “rooted” conceptions in rural cultures. Makhzoumi asks: Can these examples inform and inspire a contextualized landscape architecture in the Middle East and beyond?

Book Release

Thinking Through Soil

Authors Montserrat Bonvehi Rosich and Seth Denizen host a conversation on Thinking Through Soil, a forthcoming book from Harvard Design Press. To think through soil is to engage with some of the most critical issues of our time. In addition to its agricultural role in feeding eight billion people, soil has become the primary agent of carbon storage in global climate models, and it is crucial for biodiversity, flood control, and freshwater resources. However, conjuring what soil actually is serves as a useful exercise in reframing environmental thought, design thinking, and city and regional planning toward a healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable future. Through a sustained analysis of the world’s largest wastewater agricultural system, located in the Mexico City–Mezquital hydrological region, Thinking Through Soil imagines what a better environmental future might look like in central Mexico. More broadly, this case study offers a new image of soil that captures its shifting identity, explains its profound importance to rural and urban life, and argues for its capacity to save our planet.
