The Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture will host its annual Design Week today through Friday featuring an unusual theme – tailgating on campus. ‘Essentially all of the designers have been invited to come in and talk about all aspects of LSU tailgating,’ said Kristi Dykema, associate professor of landscape architecture. ‘We’re fascinated by this amazing cultural phenomenon, and it’s not something that’s typically studied from a designer’s perspective. We want to look at how it might be transformed if designers had their hands in it.’ The program will include speeches and workshops by four nationally recognized designers: Scott Pobiner, an assistant professor of design and management at Parsons – The New School for Design in New York City; Ivan Valin, a landscape designer with Tom Leader Studio in Berkeley, Calif.; Liz Burow, an artist and designer at Wave Hill Fellow in Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Beau Trinica, an environments designer with IDEO in San Francisco. The event will begin at 10 a.m. in the commons in the Design Building and is open to the public.
