Landscape Architecture Spring 2025 Series, Expanded Practices: Aroussiak Gabrielian

Join us in 175 Warren Hall for a lecture with Aroussiak Gabrielian, Assistant Professor, University of Southern California and Founding Principal of foreground design agency. This lecture is titled "Staging Encounters with Landscape Matter." For the past five years, Aroussiak has been developing design prototypes that interrogate the position of the human in our environmental future by catalyzing new rituals that force humans out of their exploitative relationship with the more-than-human world and obligate them to collaborate and thus co-evolve toward more inclusive and ethical models for living. In this lecture, she will present her recent creative projects, writings, and work from her research lab and teaching. Together, these efforts aim to reorient our imaginaries, fostering new ways of engaging with human and non-human agents to navigate the increasing challenges of our shared planetary existence.
