Associate Professor Jane Mah Hutton has contributed to two recent publications.
Her introduction to Cornelia Hahn Oberlander on Pedagogical Playgrounds explores the intersections of active play, ecological thinking, urban development, and the enthusiastic and often-playful advocacy of Oberlander’s writing and practice. The book, a curated selection of writings by the famed landscape architect dedicated to children’s right to play in urban environments is avaiable now from Concoria University Press.
Designing Landscape Architectural Education: Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures, the Landscape Architecture Design Studio Companion, includes Jane's contribution, Think Like a River: Designing from the Riparian Zone, and features work from School of Architecture 2B students. The book, available from Routledge, serves as a resource for academic practitioners in the preparation and delivery of "design-research studios" and students seeking guidance for design methodologies as a part of their landscape architectural education. It draws on the manifold issues of the climate crisis as a set of drivers to examine the utilisation of a range of innovative design approaches to address the current and future priorities of the discipline.
