Wendy Proud

https://www.landfx.com/ In this episode, Michael sits down with Wendy Proud, founder of Kinship League, to discuss why landscape maintenance is one of the most overlooked forces shaping the life of a landscape. Wendy shares how better crew education, smarter timing, and a deeper respect for how plants naturally grow can protect design intent long after installation. From overplanting and shallow irrigation to constant shearing and unnatural forms, Wendy makes the case for a more thoughtful approach to care, one rooted in stewardship, patience, and helping landscapes thrive over time. https://kinshipleague.com/

Yara Falakha, John-Bingham Hall, and Alexandra Lacroix

https://www.larchitect.org/ Today’s conversation is centered around a post-industrial site on the north-eastern edge of Paris, known as Chapelle Charbon, that is soon to become a new public park for the city of Paris. As a former rail depot, the 6.5 hectare (or 16 acre) site will be developed in several phases over the next decade. As part of this process, the design firm Taktyk was commissioned to design a temporary park called La Parc de 12 Saisons or The 12 Seasons Park, that evolved over a three-year period between 2017 and 2020. Around the same time that Taktyk began their work, two other curious site explorers stepped into the scene, driven by an artistic interest in the sonic qualities of the terrain, giving voice to a historic space that had been essentially forgotten about for decades. The story begins with a serendipitous encounter between three people: Sébastien Perfornis of the landscape design firm Taktyk, John Bingham-Hall from the artistic organization Theatrum Mundi…
