“Designing the Wild and Cultivating the City”
a lecture by Fritz Haeg

Fritz Haeg will present his recent work including the series of Edible Estate gardens – highly visible domestic urban productive pleasure gardens planted from Istanbul to Austin, London to Los Angeles – and the urban wildlife architecture of Animal Estates. Both projects suggest city environments that are more connected to nature, useful, participatory, and fun.
