Landscape Urbanism

Landscape Urbanism from El Yunque to Richmond

Join us on January 29 as Richmond-local, Tyler Silvestro of Marvel discusses his focus on designing environments for the public good. Silvestro will highlight projects with this priority from around the world — including the only tropical rainforest in the United States forest system — before bringing the conversation closer to home with major improvement projects around Richmond including the East Green project outside our front doors.

Silvestro’s work is focused on the advocacy, planning, design and construction of public spaces and their importance for the health of a city and its residents. Don’t miss a refreshing start to your morning with coffee and conversation about the value of public greenspace in Richmond and elsewhere!
