History at the Heart of Landscape Design

All land, whether urban or rural, wild or toxic, holds a deep cultural and ecological history. It is this layered history of a site that must be critically researched and then transformed to endure for future generations. It is because of this mentality that Nelson Byrd Woltz (NBW) is one of the most in-demand and respected landscape architecture firms in the US. In their second monograph, The Land is Full, NBW digs into this philosophy across twelve projects that illustrate the power of design in creating vital public realms at the heart of communities.

It just so happens that they are intimately involved in our community, too, through the work of the Angel Oak Preserve, a 10-year community effort to unify an existing 9-acre city park with the surrounding 35 acres once threatened by insensitive development. In partnership with Middleton Place and Lowcountry Land Trust, we are so pleased to highlight the great work of this firm and the launch of The Land is Full by hosting Thomas Woltz, Senior Principal of NVW Landscape Architects, to share how he has expanded NBW to also include scientists and historians as integral contributors to the design of projects that range from restoration ecology in large urban parks to post-industrial sites and educational campuses.
