Prunings IV

Robert Smithson


On Rundown (1969), Swamp (1969), and Spiral Jetty (1970), three itsy bitsy teenie weenie movies documenting Robert Smithson's land art.

On landscape design at Columbia University. Perhaps testing the waters with a goal towards creating an accredited landscape architecture program? Will Princeton, Yale, MIT, and other bastions of architectural education follow suit?

On walking as knowing as making.

On LEAM, i.e. Land Use Evolution and Impact Assessment Model.

On drinking water (a brief history).

On parking (another brief history).

On cemeteries. Because Pruned just cannot get enough of them.
