2025-04-28 • Sam Fox School
“Three Landscape Essays,” a project by landscape architecture faculty Montserrat Bonvehi-Rosich and Seth Denizen, has received an honorable mention in the innovation category at the MATCOAM Architecture Awards hosted by the Official College of Architects of Madrid. The project — which also has been selected as part of the 2025 Venice Biennale in Architecture this summer — includes two moveable gardens comprised of plants typical of the Iberian Peninsula, and a third that features pyrophytic plants that would thrive in the high temperatures projected through the warming climate.

Additionally, the pair’s book, “Thinking Through Soil,” was published last week by Harvard Graduate School of Design. At the University of Oregon, Bonvehi-Rosich will deliver the McKeown Lecture on Tuesday, June 3. The memorial lecture was endowed in 1992 and is known for attracting field-leading speakers like Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, Julie Bargmann, Ian McHarg, Bas Smets, and more.
