DESCRIPTION:This talk shares the development of a design lab and set of int
 erdisciplinary tools and initiatives aimed at reimagining how inclusive de
 sign can operate within the technical constraints of flood infrastructure
 —specifically along the Los Angeles River. Working with advanced hydraul
 ic modeling\, community partners\, artists\, and landscape architects\, th
 e lab creates new ways of engaging the river’s margins—both literal an
 d political—as sites of authorship\, imagination\, and agency. By treati
 ng the hydraulic limit not as a boundary but as a design medium\, the lab 
 opens space for communities to participate in reshaping infrastructure tha
 t has long excluded them.\n\n \n\nLearn more.\n\n \n\nAbout the speaker:\n
 Alexander (Alex) Robinson is a landscape architect\, researcher\, and scho
 lar. His work seeks to reinvent our most consequential anthropogenic lands
 capes through collective authorship\, multidisciplinary tools\, and commun
 ity engagement. As an Associate Professor in the Landscape Architecture + 
 Urbanism program\, he researches how civic infrastructure can function as 
 landscape\, exploring methods to re-envision their ecological function and
  community value. He also is an active member of TEST PLOT and co-runs the
  small private practice Double Iris.
