The American Planning Association named her first book, <em>The Granite Garden: Urban Nature and Human Design<\/em> (1984), as one of the 100 most important books of the 20th century and credited it with launching the ecological urbanism movement. Since 1987, Spirn has directed the West Philadelphia Landscape Project (WPLP), an action research project whose mission is to restore nature and rebuild community through strategic design, planning, and education programs (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wplp.net\">www.wplp.net<\/a>). Spirn\u2019s second book, <em>The Language of Landscape<\/em> (1998), argues that landscape is a form of language. She continued to develop the subject of visual literacy and visual thinking in her award-winning book, <em>Daring to Look: \u00a0Dorothea Lange\u2019s Photographs and Reports from the Field<\/em> (2008), and <em>The Eye Is a Door: Landscape, Photography, and the Art of Discovery<\/em> (2014). Prior to MIT, Spirn taught at Harvard University and at the University of Pennsylvania. Spirn\u2019s work has been recognized by many awards, including Japan\u2019s International Cosmos Prize for \u201ccontributions to the harmonious coexistence of nature and mankind,\u201d and the National Design Award for Design Mind, for \u201ca visionary who has had a profound impact on design theory, practice, or public awareness.\u201d Spirn\u2019s homepage is a gateway to her work and activities: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.annewhistonspirn.com\">www.annewhistonspirn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/science-sites\/institutter\/ign\/forskning\/landskabsarkitektur-planlaegning\/landskabsarkitektur-urbanisme\/copenhagen-landscape-lectures\/\">More information about Copenhagen Landscape Lecture Series<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public lecture by Anne Whinston Spirn, Professor of Landscape Architecture at\u00a0Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) What would it mean for a city to be ecologically robust and socially just?
