Dear Colleagues,

Welcome and Happy 2016!!

I envision another great year for the New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (NJASLA). I am humbled to be the 2016 President of NJASLA, a much honored and cherished chapter of the Society.

Humbled because this post has given me the opportunity to see how a small cadre of dedicated volunteers (approximately 10% of NJASLA) make tremendous contributions each year to the success of our annual state meeting, community assistance teams, and professional recognition in New Jersey. Members are kept abreast of important issues via the website, our now “weekly” newsletter and electronic mail announcements. Each and every year, NJASLA volunteers and leaders work tirelessly to position the profession of Landscape Architecture as a powerful force in the future of New Jersey.

My hope is to continue meeting with all of you in the months to come. Please come to me and our Executive Committee officers with any questions; ideas for NJASLA projects; or to express your desire to serve the chapter and the profession through our various Chapter initiatives, I can guarantee a warm welcome.

The theme of this year’s conference is the “State of the Garden: Design Nurture Grow”. For me this means we need to collectively, inclusively, diversely and collaboratively Design with nature; Nurture with a gentle stewardship of nature and community; and Grow and mature in our abilities to face the challenges of our changing world.

We should not forget the Planting of the Seed, (plant the seed, nurture it by watering it, grow to maturity) which adds one more item to the mix of the theme ‘Design Plant Nurture Grow’, one can apply it to plant matter or humanity, as the case may be. Join us in this quest to code a Fibonacci sequence, an algorithm formula for designing with nature and the cycles of life.

As always, this conference will provide a variety of opportunities to earn continuing education units (CEUs), meet new friends and reconnect with classmates and colleagues you have not seen in many days. As we celebrate the profession of Landscape Architecture with learning let us continue to amplify the theme of this conference “State of the Garden: Design Nurture Grow” collectively, diversely, inclusively and collaboratively.

Enjoy the conference.

Best Regards,

Peter O. AdewusiPresident, NJASLA 2016

NJASLA 2016 MeetiNg Welcome to the 2016 NJASLA Annual Conference and Exhibition! On behalf of the entire annual meeting committee we welcome you to our new venue and thank you for joining us this year. We appreciate your attendance and continued support of our efforts to provide you with educational information on the most current topics in ecology, planning and landscape architecture.

Much of the information presented over the next three days will highlight projects and/or designers, based in New Jersey, our Garden State. Topics include storm water management, planting design, urban renewal, urban agriculture, green roofs and creative placemaking. New this year is a portfolio workshop aimed at helping young professionals prepare visual representations of their work for presentation to prospective employers.

Also, new this year is the way in which we present and honor recipients of our NJASLA design awards. Instead of asking you to attend a separate awards ceremony, we are bringing the award winning projects to you. We have incorporated the presentation of our award winning designs into the fabric of our conference. Award certificates will be presented to recipients during the Exposition Cocktail Reception on Monday evening.

As always, please take the time to visit and chat with our vendors and sponsors. You’ll see many familiar faces and some new ones. Please be sure to stop by their booths and welcome them to our meeting. As we have been saying for years, it is their support that makes this conference possible.

Lastly, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every member of the Annual Meeting Committee for their dedication and hard work over this past year. A special thank you goes to Joanne Lombardi, of Public Strategies Impact (PSI), for her unwavering dedication and hard work over many years. Without her help, advice and meeting-planning talents this conference would not be the high quality event we have come to enjoy year after year.

Now, on to the 2016 meeting!

2:00 - 3:00 PMSeSSioN 1: Keynote • the State of the garden: Yesterday, today and tomorrow room: Avalon 4Speaker: Signe Nielsen, Principal, Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, PC The term garden holds different meanings for different people and particularly for landscape architects. We call ourselves landscape architects not garden designers and we have the credentials to prove it. So why is the word “garden” so loaded? For many of us who studied landscape history, gardens have been tainted as elitist, places for and by the rich who can afford their creation and maintenance. Garden is rarely the descriptor for urban public places, ecological restorations or the paradigm of a sustainable future. This lecture describes the past, present and future of what gardens are as idea, place, and action. The participants will be challenged to consider the question of what landscapes are appropriate for today with an understanding of the past and intriguing notions of the future.

3:15 - 5:30 PMSeSSioN 2 : WorKshop • Portfolio developmentroom: Avalon 13Speaker: Geza Schenk

This workshop combines an introduction to the elements and power of graphic design with the opportunity to acquire skills in the use of Adobe’s desktop publishing software (InDesign). It specifically addresses the needs of landscape architects. The workshop will explore important graphic tools. Participants will understand the value of layering information and hierarchy. The workshop demonstrates what graphic design can and cannot do through the use of important tools such as effects, character, object styles, master pages, and smart text frames. Printing, PDFs and packaging reduced file sizes (Adobe Acrobat Pro) will be covered, as well as creating files for web and mobile apps (Adobe Photoshop). Participants will understand basic graphic design tools and how they can be used to produce portfolio samples for marketing their landscape design work.

SeSSioN 3: Selecting & Specifying Native Plants for Stabilization and restoration of difficult Sitesroom: Avalon 4Speaker: Chris Miller

In his presentation, soil scientist and plant material specialist Christopher Miller will present examples of recent native plant evaluation work performed by the USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service. He will explain how the information obtained from the evaluation work can be applied by landscape architects when selecting and specifying native plants for coastal dune and shoreline stabilization, as well as for riparian buffers, stream banks, stormwater basins, and native meadows. He will also discuss what his research has found regarding the impact of climate change on native plants, their ability to adapt, and how this will impact the plant palette of landscape architects in the future. The process of plant testing, selection, and production will be explained to help landscape architects better understand plant availability issues and

requirements when specifying native plants. In conclusion, Mr. Miller will discuss proper seeding and planting techniques based on the latest research, present examples of actual case studies, and demonstrate how this information can result in a better outcome for native plant restoration projects.

SeSSioN 4: Landscape Architecture as catalyst for transformation: NJdeP to LSrP, evaluating the NJ Brownfield remediation Processroom: Avalon 3Speakers: Wolfram Hoefer and Kimberly Tryba

Commencing in 2009 and fully functionally by May 2012, the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA) has redefined the manner in which brownfields are remediated in New Jersey, changing completely the professional landscape for remediation professionals. The goal of the reform was to increase the pace of remediation, in an effort to decrease the environmental impact caused by contaminant exposure and transform underutilized properties into productive reuse. However, by requiring remediation projects to proceed under the supervision of a Licensed Site Remediation Professional, this regulation also privatizes a process that had been previously been under the purview of federal and state agencies, that include the DEP, NJDEP and USEPA.

Has SRRA accomplished its goals? To answer this question we have surveyed landscape architects, engineers, environmental consultants, and professional planners to understand how their practices have evolved in response to SRRA. This presentation highlights the results of our survey and will critically discuss the current role of landscape architecture in site remediation and adaptive reuse of brownfields.

SeSSioN 5: urban renewal redux: Planning for the interstitial Spacesroom: Avalon 22Speakers: Robert Cotter and Jay Valgora

Jersey City is New Jersey’s first city: welcoming commerce and industry, and evolving into a significant player in the New York economy. As the railhead of the nation, its destiny was cast in iron; maritime industry dominated the waterfront - until it didn’t.

The collapse of rail shipping and relocation of the ports were the end of an era – and the beginning

of a new one. The ashes were stirred and the “Gold Coast” emerged. Change came upon Jersey City in 1952, with the nation’s first Urban Renewal Plan – Gregory Park. The redevelopment of this project and similar inaccessible sites is part of our story.

Today, urban planners are faced with the need to re-integrate awkward interstitial sites. Abandoned waterfronts, former industrial zones, isolated communities: these leftover spaces must inspire planners. We can dig deep into sites’ history, context, infrastructure, and public spaces to create transformative visions. This session illustrates ground-breaking techniques, innovative re-zonings, and public-private partnerships to create radical and successful solutions for the lost edges and in-between places that will re-invent our cities.

SeSSioN 6: How Pratt got its green roofroom: Avalon 3Speaker: Jamie Stein

As foundations of higher learning on the cutting edge of best professional practices and technology, academic institutions today are tasked with training future environmental stewards and showcasing their campuses as models for sustainable development. Pratt Institute’s recent efforts in this field have been recognized by an award from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Infrastructure Grant Program, an ambitious watershed-based plan targeted at the reduction of combined sewer outfalls through the implementation of green infrastructure (GI) projects on both public and private property. The grant was awarded to Pratt for its collaborative proposal from the Institute’s facilities team and the Graduate School of Architecture’s Programs for Sustainable Planning & Development, for the design and construction of two GI projects on the Institute’s Brooklyn campus.

Ms. Stein’s presentation will cover the details of Pratt Institute’s on-campus suite of GI projects; how they mitigate combined sewer outfalls, their community involvement components and the city grant application process.


SeSSioN 7: urban Agriculture: opportunities for Landscape Architectsroom: Avalon 22Speaker: William Eubanks

As we are more aware of what we eat and where it comes from, community gardens, urban farms, and farmers markets become part of our urban fabric. This session addresses the landscape architect’s role in leveraging this trend for a stronger sense of community. Understand the profession’s role in urban agriculture through recent case studies and professional experience. Learn key aspects of the design and programming of community and school gardens -- what succeeds and what fails. Learn how to leverage the local food movement to improve a sense of community and facilitate real change in your city. Case studies range from small personal vegetable gardens to a protected farm of 94 acres.

SeSSioN 8: creative Placemakingroom: Avalon 4Speaker: Leonardo Vazquez

Creative placemaking is a new way of engaging arts and culture to enhance and revitalize communities. It is a model that promotes distinct processes for developing arts and cultural activities and projects in ways that better connect to the issues that concern residents. For those who take a ‘projects-first’ approach to community revitalization, creative

placemaking can be challenging. This session will include case studies from communities in New Jersey and Louisiana and will explore the roles that landscape architects can play in the creative placemaking process.

In particular, the presentation will highlight the community coaching process as a way to develop teams of leaders and build capacity among residents to engage in more informed decision-making around the use of space and public areas in communities. Several communities that have participated in community coaching will be highlighted, including Perth Amboy and Atlantic Highlands. The presenter will talk about how landscape architects can be both technical advisors and coaches to client communities, thereby developing the kind of relationships that many seek in their practices.

As this century unfolds, cities face the challenge of population increase, and having to provide adequate public open space to help these cities stay livable. Increasing the complexity for solutions are the threats to city infrastructure presented by climate change. However, innovative policy and land use can lead to solutions that address all of these vital functions for cities to perform: creatively identifying available land to be dedicated as park space, and then creating parks that play multiple roles.

MoNdAY . feBruArY 22 . 2016

Design plays a crucial role in maximizing the ability of park space to provide communities with recreational, health, and social services. This approach to design must also consider regional and global performance needs by providing environmental benefits.

In addition to the design challenges in creating these dynamic spaces, in many cases the approach towards partners and funding must be equally innovative. A prime mover in ability to create these 21st century parks is the relationship between public agencies, private philanthropy, and non-profit organizations. These relationships catalyze opportunities for existing parks to be repaired, rebuilt, and refurbished, and new parks to be designed and created.

SeSSioN 10: Maximizing Landscape Architecture opportunities to Strengthen Bids room: Avalon 3Speaker: Eric Goldstein

Landscape Architects and Professional Planners are helping reposition King of Prussia for the 21st Century with impressive results. Come learn how the King of Prussia District works with these professionals on a range of projects from zoning revisions to physical improvements to plans for a $1B train extension.

Tremendous highway access allowed King of Prussia to flourish through the 1980’s. Major populationflight from the City of Philadelphia in the 1970’s brought jobs, residents, and retail to King of Prussia. However, in the 1990’s other major suburban corporate centers emerged. These new centers had new highway connections, some had rail access, and all became serious competition. In 2010, businessleaders and the Township created the King of Prussia District, a private, not-for-profit, businessimprovement organization to help reverse the tide. The District launched five programs in its effortto increase property values, spur economic development, and grow jobs. Marketing & Communications, Physical Improvements, Land Use & Zoning, Tax Policy, and Transportation projects have helped turn King of Prussia’s fortunes around in less than five years.

SeSSioN 11: urban Wildsroom: Avalon 22Speakers: Peter Del Tredici and Frank Gallagher

As we enter the “Urban Millennium”, we’re realizing that over the next century existing and developing urban environments will mushroom to population levels incomprehensible just a few decades ago. While cities are generally considered home to some of the most creative and artistic talent and the pioneers of ground-breaking public policy and innovative economic drivers, they are often simultaneously the sites of abject poverty and extreme environmental degradation. If sustainability is to be a realistic goal for people living in cities, then a functional land ethic must be developed that makes use of the vacant, post-industrial land that is so abundant in many of our so-called “shrinking cities.” This presentation will examine how vacant open space (often referred to as “Urban Wilds“) can facilitate such an ethos.

Many cities present opportunities to convert vacant, post-industrial lands into future open green space. Through the presentation of two case studies, Liberty State Park and Bussey Brook Meadow, both the eco- and ego-systems associated with the “Urban Wilds” will be examined.

SeSSioN 12: Sea Level rise and change on the New Jersey Shore: ecological Approaches of Landscape designroom: Avalon 4Speaker: Steven Handel

The local ocean will rise over five feet this century and storm surges are expected to be more frequent. Together these forces will threaten many communities. Many coastal communities and natural resources will be damaged or destroyed by this expected physical change. In addition to loss of lives and economic value, many coastal natural habitats (critical for ecological services and marine resources) may be lost. A team of ecologists and landscape architects have developed new concepts to protect both human and natural communities of plants and animals. Case studies and solutions were developed for Manhattan, Jamaica Bay, NY,


and three areas on the New Jersey coast (Raritan Bay, Asbury Park, and Toms River). With sea level rise, infrastructure and coastal wetland and upland habitats will be flooded. Mitigation of the impact on natural resources can be performed by projecting future coastal profiles and accommodating needs of the ecological, social, and economic aspects of coastal life as critically connected aspects of shore living. Attention to ecological as well as infrastructure needs during planning and landscape design must occur to make our seaboard resilient torapidly approaching physical changes.

This presentation will illustrate how temporary improvements tested in the Roosevelt Plaza Park Pop-Up (RPP) in Camden and the knowledge transferred to the Francisville public pool in Philadelphia were designed and used to evaluate user experience and to advocate for future improvements at these essential yet neglected public spaces.

Improvements to the park after demolition of a parking garage in 2012 left the park with only basic infrastructure, resulting in a blank canvas that lacked a sense of scale. The pop-up was meant to enliven the existing park and encourage residents, employees, students, and visitors to spend time outside in the city.

Using interviews, surveys and time lapse photography, the design team recorded how users interacted with the spaces. Data collection findings were used to obtain future funding and guide future park improvements.


SeSSioN 14: results of ePA research on Permeable Pavement room: Avalon 4Speaker: Michael Borst

The session will describe some results of EPA research on the application of permeable pavement as a stormwater control measure. The discussion will emphasize the work on the Edison Environmental Center in Edison, NJ and in Louisville, KY that is part of a larger collection of long-term research examining multiple stormwater management practices. The research project overall objective is to document the performance and capabilities of three porous pavement systems simultaneously at the same site with replicates that allow for statistical analyses. The monitored pavements include interlocking concrete pavers, porous concrete, porous asphalt and conventional asphalt. They have been monitored for hydrologic performance, water quality performance, and maintenance needs.

SeSSioN 15: Biophilic Landscapes: Nurturing Health and Wellbeing through design room: Avalon 22Speaker: Catie Ryan

The role of modern cities – bedeviled by growing populations, pollution, and fiscal insolvency – in addressing the acute and chronic health problems of urban residents is under increasing scrutiny. Mounting evidence suggests that natural environments and natural design cues in both indoor and outdoor settings support physiological and psychological health, reinforcing the critical social, economic, and ecological contribution that good design can make to improve health outcomes. Catie Ryan of Terrapin Bright Green will speak to this design process from an evidence-based perspective to provide guidance to designers, planners, and clinicians on harnessing the benefits of biophilic landscape architecture.

SeSSioN 16: capital city farmroom: Avalon 3Speakers: Linda Mead, Allegra Lovejoy, Jay Watson

Project leaders will discuss the stages of development of Capital City Farm, Trenton’s first urban farm. This presentation will include an examination of the project vision, the role of the land trust in acquiring the site, the remediation process, the community planning process, the opportunities and challenges of working with social service organizations in project development, and what real (vs imagined) benefits an urban farm can offer to residents. The session will include Q&A and an opportunity for joint brainstorming. 3:45 - 4:05 PMrefreSHMeNt BreAKroom: Exhibit Hall

SeSSioN 18: the cost of everything and the value of Nothingroom: Avalon 3Speaker: Gregory Lombardi

Creating a lifestyle brand and working with a variety of clients is what makes landscape architecture so rewarding; it’s about crafting a compelling narrative that grips your audience and engages them on a personal level. We are storytellers, editors, curators,

and critical professionals—our work begins with understanding our clients’ desires, visions, and goals. What can we do to transform their surroundings and stimulate their individual lifestyle? Each project opens with a discussion about collaboration and how we visualize the design direction. Some clients want us to run the project, while others want to be heavily involved and educated along the way; it is about finding a balance where we can all collaborate. Throughout the process, it is essential to manage their outlook, and to recognize the value of embracing empathy vs. sympathy when approaching new relationships and building trust. The art of residential landscape is limitless—from a bespoke detail executed by a time-honored craftsman to the use of innovative products and construction methods, our mission is to convey the homeowners’ story in a distinctive and exceptional manner.

SeSSioN 19: Plant Selection Methods in the face of climate change within the context of urban tree Managementroom: Avalon 4 Speaker: Jason Grabosky

This is a discussion on how changing environmental patterns impact niche or plant fitness. Site assessment has always been the framework from which rational plant selections and plant community trajectory in design develop, since the connection of plants as the living component of the design needs to be appropriate for the site environment if there is to be long-term success of the planting design. Given that trees can take decades to grow into their designed size, and decades longer as components of the long-term design, climate change poses a challenge to many traditional and popular selection approaches. Thus, plant selections need to consider the future site for best success rather than current or past plant communities or site conditions. We will think about climate change in the past and how it can provide clues to our future, and consider energy, water, temperature and other basic aspects of current site analysis, they are expected to change, and how this can yield ideas and strategies on plant selection for the future. As we talk about these things, some text and electronic tools for “visioning” the future climate and thus palette will be suggested.

5:20 - 6:20 PMSeSSioN 21: Keynote • Finding your “Waterfalls”room: Avalon 4 Speaker: Knox White

A three-step process is explored for achieving the successful urban area: Mixed Use, Great Public Spaces, and “Personality,” through the example of Greenville, South Carolina. Mixed use is a well-known device for building a successful city; however,

it is seldom given more than lip service. Office development builds daytime activity, but residential is crucial for filling the streets after hours and on weekends and for attracting retail back to Main Street. Carefully constructed public spaces provide a “humanizing” factor to an urban area, promoting a walkable environment. Thoughtful design assures that a public space actually attracts people. Finally, a city must find and enhance its unique characteristics or “personality.” Greenville does this through attention to historic and architecturally significant buildings, public art, and other devices that contribute to a walkable and always-interesting landscape. Greenville rediscovered its greatest natural asset: a river and falls in the heart of downtown. The story of the falls and its 40 years of obscurity under a highway bridge will be told. The removal of the highway bridge and the creation of a beautiful park and public garden around the falls made the once-abandoned area the centerpiece of downtown Greenville.

Nelson Byrd Woltz (NBW) recognizes the value of the garden as the seminal typology for civilization’s connection to plants and nature and for navigating the relationship between the home and the greater world, between the organized collection and the seeming randomness of the natural world. The work of NBW honors this relationship through education, the forging of connections between people and landscapes, and by creating gardens that function as places of meditation, learning, and respite, set apart yet connected to the world. Through thoughtfully considered horticulture, these gardens subtly

encourage the discovery of deeper layers of meaning ingrained in a place even as they offer a direct, sensual, and visceral experience.

This session will provide an assessment of selected NBW projects that address unique stories discovered and revealed through design. In each case the analysis of the site, origin of the design ideas and the use of flora will be discussed in detail, focusing on how research influences the final design and the actualization of a garden. The session will also address cultural landscapes and the unique set of design challenges they present.

The presentation’s aim is to discuss the essence of the cultural landscapes of these regions, evaluating the concepts of historic landscape gardens, stemming from traditional descriptions of Eden. Those concepts

will be compared to contemporary practices by several firms including OLIN on recent projects of or on Islamic gardens, as well as the influences that these gardens have on today’s landscape design and sustainable practices. The attendees will be exposed to several historic, current and restoration projects as case studies.

SeSSioN 25: the changing Landscape of regulations and Policies Shaping the New World of development in NJ and Beyondroom: Avalon 22Speaker: Adam Zellner

Hurricane Sandy; power outages; changing weather patterns; LEED; microgrids; sustainability; resiliency - these terms, and many others, are examples of how the world of development, master planning and design are being shaped by reaction to a changing physical and policy environment. This presentation will focus on the changing landscape of those policies and the resulting impacts on how we develop and redevelop, especially in our most vulnerable communities. The funding of a microgrid in one community has led to a host of other opportunities to shape the future of the city including new stormwater ordinances, green roofs for first hour control, waterproof power conduits, landscape architecture requirements for large run off sources and many other new policies and funding sources. This session will look at how the regulatory, funding, and resiliency worlds are coming together to create the perfect storm in terms of opportunities for landscape architects and planners.
