06 RISK
Published: Fall 2017
LA+ RISK explores risk as the engine of art and innovation. Complicating the risks inherent in every act of environmental design are two now dominant threats to humanity: climate change and social inequality, both of which are expected to make Earth a more volatile, dystopian planet. Risk reduction—under the rubric of resilience—is the new paradigm for landscape architecture and urbanism. This issue invites contributors to consider the relationship between design and the evolving landscape of risk; to explore the ways in which risk shapes our behavior and impacts our experiences of designed environments. LA+ RISK is edited by Tatum Hands, Billy Fleming, and Richard Weller.
