Theodore Hoerr, RLA, ASLA, is the founder of Terrain Work, an award-winning, international landscape architecture, urban design and public art studio based in New York City. He is also the 2021 Verna C. Garvan Distinguished Visiting Professor in Landscape Architecture for the Fay Jones School.

Hoerr will present the lecture “Liminal Terrain” at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the University of Arkansas campus, as part of the fall lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design. The lecture will also be available to watch live via Zoom.

The Fay Jones School’s fall lecture series is presented in collaboration with Places Journal, an internationally respected online journal of architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism, and the University of Arkansas Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Registration for the entire lecture series is available on Zoom.

In his lecture, “Liminal Terrain,” Hoerr will examine how Terrain Work approaches creative propositions for landscapes that reside in the spaces between disciplines, communities and experiences. This includes recent work, such as InterPlay Park and Al Fresco Botanical Garden in Peoria, Illinois, and a series of interconnected publicly accessible landscapes in West Harlem’s Manhattanville Factory District in New York City.   

 Hoerr’s professional and academic work explores how the landscape’s innate ability to change creates new emergent forms and experiences that synthesize culture, nature and the built environment. He has led the design of a diverse range of projects on five continents, from large-scale urban strategies reshaping the future of cities to small-scale landscapes that emphasize the craft of building. 

He received his Master of Landscape Architecture in Urban Design with distinction and Master in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Hoerr has taught in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design since 2016.

The school is pursuing continuing education credits for this lecture through the American Institute of Architects.
