Takuma Ono in Conversation with Charles Waldheim

Thursday, June 7, 7pm

Takuma Ono, the new Maeder-York Family Fellow in Landscape Studies, begins his residency at the Gardner in conversation with Charles Waldheim, Charles Waldheim/Urban Agency, Consulting Curator of Landscape. The talk will focus on Mr. Ono’s work.

Mr. Ono is a founder and Design Director of Aershop (Architecture/Environment/Research/Workshop), New York, NY. His interests in the biological sciences and urban design have led to involvement in a range of collaborative urbanism projects. He received his MLA from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2007 and his BS in Microbiology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at RISD.

The biennial Maeder-York Family Fellowship in Landscape Studies at the Gardner Museum was established to recognize an emerging designer whose work articulates the potential for landscape as a medium of design in the public realm.

Tickets are limited and must be reserved in advance.

Thursday evening programming is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Museum receives operating support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
