Baumer Lecture Series, Emmanuel Thingue

Emmanuel Thingue is a Sloan Public Service award-winning landscape architect who currently works for New City Parks, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create parks in underserved communities. Before joining New City Parks, Thingue designed high-quality public spaces with the NYC Parks Department for over 30 years. Balancing practical concerns with a creative aesthetic vision, Thingue continues to produce spaces that are both beautiful and functional.

Thingue’s lecture will focus on the viability of the public sector as a career path for landscape architects and the positive impacts public service has on shaping cities and improving the quality of life. His lecture will also emphasize design methodologies unique to the public sector and dissect our approach to successful projects.

The Baumer Series invites prominent researchers and practitioners of architecture, landscape architecture, and city and regional planning to present their work and to engage subjects both topical and enduring.
