Shaping Our Heritage

Fort Worthians may reacquaint themselves with Halprin’s extensive body of work through a visit to the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin is a photographic exhibition organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation of Washington, D.C., and features 56 large-format images of Halprin’s work from a career that spanned six decades. With local exhibition design by Fort Worth architect W. Mark Gunderson and landscape architect Tary Arterburn of Studio Outside, the exhibit is an excellent survey of the designer’s lifetime of exploration into the qualities that make our shared spaces not only useable and worthwhile but also beautiful.
