FASLANYC chronicles the progression, from design experiment to multi-disciplinary operation, of a small group effort to celebrate and activate the ecology of the Gowanus Canal. |

FASLANYC visits Floyd Bennett Field and finds an example of park use that references the site’s unique history and demonstrates the changing nature of recreation. |
Landscape/architectural criticism today is often conservative and superficial. I attribute this to two main causes; the modern insecurity of the professions, and the mystification of the academic aspect of landscape/architecture and their concomitant critics and apologists.
