In this digital workshop we will take a closer look at our non-human species friend, the tree. Engaging the spirit of the Future Library project by Katie Paterson featured in Designs for Different Futures, Karen Lutsky (assistant professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Minnesota) guides you to nurture a new relationship with a tree and with “tree time.” Pre- and post-workshop exercises will be shared publicly online and be used as starting points for a follow-up design workshop in the spring.
