Honoring Lawrence Halprin in His Centenary Year

Israel is not the only place where conservationists and modernists are pitted against each other. To preserve the work of great American architects, Charles A. Birnbaum, a prominent American landscape architect, established the DC-based non-profit Cultural Landscape Foundation. Birnbaum, who coordinated the National Park Service Landscape initiative for 15 years, serves as CLF president, CEO and chief curator of exhibitions – the current one of which is a tribute to Lawrence Halprin in the centenary year of his birth.
