We have a fantastic pre-Christmas Social Event planned this year. Once more at the Tyneside Cinema, we will be hosting a screening of the film Troublemakers. Set in the desolate desert spaces of the American southwest, the film unearths the history of land art during the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s. Troublemakers is ultimately a story of renegades and firebrands all willing to risk their future careers on radical change and experimentation-a marked contrast to the hyper-speculative contemporary art world of today. Featuring rare interviews with a veritable who’s who of American Art of the twentieth century.

Non-members and friends more than welcome.

We are also honoured to be joined by Ian Thompson, Reader in Landscape Architecture at Newcastle University, whom we are sure many of you will know. Ian has kindly agreed to give an introduction to the film, setting the Land Art movement within the wider context of Landscape Architecture. Should be a great night and a wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues.

The event will be held on Thursday 28th November with a £10.00 entry fee. Food will be served and there is a private bar (drinks extra).

We welcome Mr Tony McCormack to the Landscape Institute North East for one day only, talking about all things paving related. Tony is the person behind the website pavingexpert.com. This site grew from a single page, established back in 1997, that attempted to explain the correct construction of a block paved patio for a friend who was having trouble with their contractor. Since then it has been through at least 4 major revisions and now totals over 400 pages information covering all the major paving types used in Britain and Ireland, and receives over 125,000 unique visitors each month during the season.

“Concrete is an artificial conglomerate or pudding stone, in which the pebbles which make up the greater part of the bulk are cemented together by lime mortar.” E. Dobson, A Rudimentary Treatise on Foundations and Concrete Works c.1850

This historical description does not do justice to the versatility of one of the most widely used construction materials, which provides countless opportunities for landscape design. Ubiquitous in paving, this tour is an ideal chance to learn more about its use in other built elements.

Bespoke Concrete’s products  are installed at The Core building at Science Central in Newcastle as well as numerous other schemes in regional and nationally.  The factory tour will show us around each area of production, with operatives in attendance to demonstrate the skills sets used to acquire the various mix designs and surface finishes.  We will look at the various types of mould used and what type of finished can be achieved.

Tea and biscuits will be included and it is quite possible we will decamp to a local pub afterwards.

Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL): Scattering the rural into the urban

Description:

It is a great challenge for city regions that urban territories all over the world “scatter” urban (building) activities into the rural, thereby often absorbing fertile agricultural land. Land that was previously used for food growing, among other things. At the same time, the resulting “scattered metropolis” – or urban sprawl – provides much desired opportunities for residents and businesses. There are so many of them today, they are so keenly developed, yet can be so unpleasant and unsustainable, that our aim must be to rethink the current separatist notions of city and countryside, of urban and rural design. This is especially true in relation to food – one of the most fundamental needs of our cities, as well as one of the most fundamental products of our countryside. Paradoxically, most initiatives that challenge the loss of city-near agriculture and question contemporary food provision started in the urban. The CPUL design research is an example of this: it studies urban agriculture, the scattering of the rural into the urban. The lecture will examine issues and interdependencies when it comes to feeding our cities and the role urban and landscape design can play in their future. It will draw on examples from Bohn&Viljoen’s design research practice.

Bio-data:

Katrin Bohn is an architect and urban practitioner and a senior lecturer in architecture at the University of Brighton. Between 2010 and 2014, she held a guest professorship at the Technical University in Berlin where she headed the Department City & Nutrition. Together with André Viljoen, she runs Bohn&Viljoen Architects, an architectural practice and environmental consultancy based in London. Katrin has taught, lectured, published and exhibited widely on the design concept of CPUL [Continuous Productive Urban Landscape] which she and Viljoen contributed to the international urban design discourse in 2004. Their projects on productive urban landscapes include consultancy, feasibility studies and design proposals as well as food-growing installations and participatory events for clients in the UK, Germany and other European countries. In 2015, Katrin won the RIBA President’s Award for Outstanding University-located Research.

Our Lecture is kindly being sponsored by Charcon Hard Landscaping.

In the new Information Age, data is ammunition and a new war is being  fought across the internet. Data acquisition, smart technology, building information modelling, cloud processing and artificial intelligence are all changing the way in which we work and compete for business.

In 2015, Wilder Associates began incorporating drone surveys into their workflow. It has rapidly grown into a whole new sector of work and revealed new directions that our industry may take in this technological revolution. ­­­

Peter is back in the North-East, 5 years after he last gave a talk to LINE. He will be giving a talk on technology – including his pioneering use of drone technology in survey and design work – and its continuing and growing impact on all aspects of the profession
