We are pleased to host Pat for a lecture at PHA, in which he will discuss design lessons through the lens of his current work. His talk will cover site design and plant and material selection with a particular focus on current projects in New York City, along Boston Harbor, on Long Island, and on a private island off the coast of Maine. Topics will include ecological inspirations from the coastal plain and other maritime environments and the roles they play in design choices.
