MERL Lunchtime Seminar: March 17: Order in the landscape

Order in the landscape: Rediscovering Preben Jakobsen Karen Fitzsimon, MA Garden History, University of Buckingham; Landscape Architect • 17 March Preben Jakobsen (1934-2012) was an award winning, inspiring and passionate Danish landscape architect who spent his professional life working in the UK. Through his many built works, lectures and writing he educated a generation of landscape designers. A self-declared modernist, he considered landscape design a true art form. His expressive and creative use of plants was highly regarded. He stopped working in the mid-1990s and so missed out on the world wide web. As a result his important contribution to British landscape architecture has been mostly forgotten. Using the LI archive material and other field research Karen’s illustrated talk seeks to remedy this situation and to revive an interest in the man and his work.
