Hosted by the ICAA Southeast Chapter
At the heart of the passion for Classical Art and Architecture is the recognition of the continuum of design thinking over centuries. Rather than seeking and celebrating rupture, the best of classical art and architecture builds, layer by layer, on the past, toward a better future. When we turn our attention to the parallel conversation in Landscape Architecture and Garden Design, the complex interaction of humans and living collections in our cities, parks and residences, offers a similar opportunity to find the continuum of design thinking.
During the ICAA Bunny Mellon Garden Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee, the participants will explore the arc of landscape history that has shaped Middle Tennessee over hundreds of years. Beginning with an understanding of the remarkable geologic formation of the Nashville Basin, Native American settlement and lifeways, colonial settlement and enslavement in the 18th century, expansion of industry in the 19th century, to the evolution of the modern City of Nashville, its parks and gardens. Guests will visit a number of historic and contemporary sites illustrating this remarkable continuum and stewardship of the landscape and garden history in Middle Tennessee.
