French Landscape Architecture comes to Kansas State University

Designs by prominent French landscape architects, such as those by Henri Bava, will be featured in a month-long exhibit at Kansas State University.

MANHATTAN, Kansas--Kansas State University College of Architecture, Planning, and Design is pleased to present Contemporary French Landscape Architecture, which will be exhibited in the Chang Gallery of Seaton Hall from Jan. 12 through Feb. 11. The Gallery is open to the public on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. without charge.

The exhibition was created in 2003 and brought together for the first time anywhere in the United State and France the selected works of a group of leading French landscape architects. Each is represented by three major projects-one project that they considered would best represent their work, one recent design (since 2000) and a third that was left to their own choice. The exhibit was curated by Professor John Dixon Hunt and Phillippe Coignet (MLA 2000) of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Included in the exhibit is work by Henri Bava, Anne Sylvie Bruel and Christophe Delmar, Michel Corajoud, Georges Descombes, Michel Desvigne, Christophe Girot, Pascale Hannetel, Bernard Lassus, Catherine Mosbach, Jacqueline Osty, Christine and Michel Pena, Allain Provost, Alain Richert, and Jacques Simon. This exhibit is supported by the K-State Student Fine Arts fee.
