Bruce K. Ferguson, a landscape architecture professor, will
present a lecture titled “What Is a Street?” from 9:30-10:20 a.m. Friday, Oct.
26, in Room 105 of Kimpel Hall on the University of Arkansas campus.
Ferguson is a Franklin Professor of Landscape Architecture
in the University of Georgia’s College of Environment and Design, and former
director of the college’s School of Environmental Design. He is a fellow of the
American Society of Landscape Architects and a former president of the Council
of Educators in Landscape Architecture.
He will discuss the design of dense urban districts, made
better by a unified model for the multifunctional use of urban streets. Urban
technologies and design analyses developed in recent years make a radical
combination of environmental and human functions possible in compact urban
districts. With these tools in hand, it is possible to organize an
understanding of the components of street design.
The public is invited to attend this lecture, which is presented
by the Fay Jones School of Architecture.
Admission is free, with limited seating. For more
