Green by Design

Public Education at the Fore


Leveraging value-driven craftsmanship and public education resources, Emerge Studio, a multidisciplinary team led by landscape architect educators, is guiding production according to Cradle to Cradle, the sustainable design dictum of William McDonough and Michael Braungart. A collaborative teaching and research initiative of Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey and University of Idaho, Emerge Studio has incorporated the U.S. exhibition into undergraduate curriculum.

From the perspective of landscape architecture, this new model strives to become a benchmark for the sustainable design of large-scale public art.
