LAEP Speaker Series: Mariana Rovzar

Lecture/Readings

Small Urban Gardens: Possibilities & Challenges About the Lecture: Developing a small-scale garden requires a vision that must answer a fundamental query: What does this space want to be? Every step of the process, from the initial design phase to construction implementation, presents a captivating interplay between possibilities and challenges. Each project raises thoughtful questions about achieving balance, embracing simplicity, and restoring the existing conditions of a site, which will all lead to the creation of a truly special garden. Speaker Bio: Mariana Rovzar is a Miami-based landscape architect who has meticulously cultivated a diverse portfolio of residential-scale gardens that transcend the ordinary. Her designs serve as more than just aesthetically-pleasing landscapes; they represent a dynamic transformation within their local environments. She first developed her expertise in Mexico City, earning a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the Universidad Iberoamericana. She later studied Ephemeral Spaces at UPC in Barcelona, and she holds a master’s degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania.

LAEP Speaker Series: Pierre Lavoie

Lecture/Readings

The transformative power of lighting About the Lecture: Lighting design holds immense potential to create captivating sensorial experiences, where colors, angles, and light sources converge to shape our perception. This lecture aims to explore the versatility of lighting design and its ability to adapt to diverse contexts. We will delve into three main themes: dance, opera, and museum lighting. Furthermore, we will examine how the transformative power of light can be harnessed in urban and landscape design. Speaker Bio: Pierre Lavoie is a Canadian lighting designer specializing in dance. With a background as a stage manager for various dance companies, Pierre immersed himself in the world of movement and rhythm. He combines a deep understanding of the art of dance with his technical expertise, allowing him to create lighting designs that seamlessly complement and accentuate the vision of choreographers and directors, much like a client in landscape architecture. Pierre's expertise extends beyond traditional stage performances. He has lent his creative vision to museum and site-specific productions, skillfully integrating lighting into unconventional spaces.
