The Burnside Blog
King of all he Surveys
If you haven’t seen it, you should check out the blog Landscape+Urbanism, by Portland landscape architect ( of Greenworks) Jason King—it’s a thoughtful melding of observation, local-to-global context and rigorous praxis.
[Mea Culpa: I was remiss in not acknowledging L+U for a Prémio Dardos the other day—as we grapple with sustainability’s big picture and small footprints, this should be read more widely. ]
King, one of the first Portland landscape architects to become LEED accredited, has a great blade-to-berm-to-building grasp of the issues around landscape—see recent musings like this bit questioning EcoMetropolitanism .
King’s also in the news talking about the Sustainable Sites Initiative , a new benchmark system related to site maintenance and sustainable design.
The Sustainable Sites Initiative is an interdisciplinary effort by the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the United States Botanic Garden to create voluntary national guidelines and performance benchmarks for sustainable land design, construction and maintenance practices.
Goals? To levate the value of landscape (through a LEED-like set of benchmarks) by outlining the economic, environmental and human well-being benefits, to connect place/space/landscape to buildings more resolutely, provide certification/recognition for high performance, and to high-five innovation around the regeneration of natural resources and ecosystem health.
Benchmarks can apply to all manner of landscape including commercial and public sites, parks, campuses, roadsides, residential landscapes, recreation centers and utility corridors. Even red herrings of the green sort like golf courses.
