Biographical note
Liat Margolis is a landscape architect and industrial designer. She trained at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, two of the most prestigious institutions in her field. She acquired practical experience at the firm Michael Van Valkenburgh and Associates in Cambridge, MA and as Director of Material Research at the world-famous firm Material ConneXion in New York, whose representatives advise architects, designers, engineers, fashion professionals, and other interested parties on the properties and applications of new materials.
Die Verwendung neuartiger Materialien stellt einen wichtigen Trend in der Landschaftsarchitektur dar. Dazu gehoren z.B. biologisch abbaubare Geotextilien, superabsorbierende Polymere und Pflanzen, die sensitiv auf sich wandelnde Bodenbedingungen reagieren. Die verfugbaren Materialien und Technologien werden in ihrer teils experimentellen, teils ausgereiften Anwendung dargestellt.
