“Surroundings” – Visual tributes to our landscape architects

It’s about time.  Vancouver is blessed with not only an extraordinary landscape but also with extraordinary landscape architects- and now there is a visual tribute to their works and legacy. A new video series has been made with zero funding and simply created by two friends – Saba Farmand and Paul Albi – who have a love for our region, design and film-making. 

The series will be broadcast on Shaw and available on YouTube.  (I’ll post them as they become available.)

Here’s a promo for the first one – an interview with and exploration of the works of Don Vaughan

From Vancity Buzz:

Surroundings is a four-part video series that tells the stories behind some of Metro Vancouver’s well-known public spaces from the perspectives of the landscape architects who designed them.

In each 20 minute episode, high-profile landscape architects are interviewed onsite where they share the stories behind the design and creation of these places…

Surroundings is the first ever video series to provide a comprehensive look into what landscape architects do and how they have helped shape our cities and region.
