On Thursday, October 14th, The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) announced Julie Bargmann as the winner of the 2021 Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize. The first-of-its-kind, biennial Oberlander Prize includes a US $100,000 monetary award and two years of public engagement activities focused on the work of the laureate and landscape architecture more broadly.
This announcement was truly a watershed moment for the practice of landscape architecture and ABC was proud to sponsor the celebratory reception which also served as an opening ceremony for Courageous By Design, TCLF’s day-long symposium featuring leading women landscape architects, as well as allied professionals, whose work is creative, courageous, and timely. These practitioners are inventing and deploying new tools, techniques, and technologies to meet the challenges of the current climate crisis in New York City and beyond.
ABC Stone is thrilled to celebrate those who work every day to make our world more equitable, beautiful, and sustainable.
