The National Aquarium has an ambitious mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures. With a prime location in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and a goal of transforming their campus into a Chesapeake Bay demonstration landscape, the aquarium worked with Ayers Saint Gross to produce a sustainable and high-performing floating wetland to expand habitat on their campus. Located between Piers 3 and 4, the Harbor Wetland is a free exhibit on the National Aquarium campus. The 10,000 square foot habitat allows visitors to immerse themselves in a salt marsh habitat like those that existed in this space hundreds of years ago. In addition to describing the project, the speakers will talk about what they learned during and after the project, and provide insights that can guide the creation of floating wetlands in other locations fresh and saltwater locations. 

Virtual option will be available for the 7pm lecture. Join the virtual lecture here.

‘Vermont Solstice’
Vermont ASLA Commissioned Sabra Field Print 

The Vermont chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (VTASLA) commissioned world-renowned Vermont printmaker Sabra Field in 2005 to create a piece to celebrate the beauty of Vermont’s landscape. Best known for her design of the 1991 Vermont Bicentennial stamp, Sabra Field has been printmaking in Vermont for over 36 years. Her work has been the subject of over 50 special exhibits around the world, and she has received numerous awards for her contributions to the arts and to Vermont culture.

‘Vermont Solstice’ encapsulates the extent of Vermont’s varied geography, from the Connecticut River on the eastern border to Lake Champlain on the west. Set during a snowy winter sunset, the stylized and highly detailed view includes natural landmarks such as Camel’s Hump, as well as the state’s trademark rolling hills and countryside pastures. Field also incorporated signs of humanity’s influence on the land, including highways 89 and 91, and indicates settled areas through the use of small, shimmering lights.
