Landscape Architect To Discuss Holy Land Projects
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark — The University of Arkansas Department of Landscape Architecture will present a new perspective on the Middle East this Friday by sponsoring a lecture by Judith Green, a UA alumna who has practiced landscape architecture in Israel for the past 25 years. Green has designed parks, streetscapes, neighborhood plans, and master plans for natural areas, and has participated in the restoration and reconstruction of historic sites such as Nativity Square in Bethlehem, Palestine. Recent projects include site design for the Menachem Begin Museum in Jerusalem and for Rosh Maya, a public park in Haifa that includes the archaeological remains of a Crusader castle. Her lecture this Friday will focus on projects developed in the context of political upheaval:
