Haley Blakeman will present a lecture at 4:30 p.m. Monday, March 17, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the University of Arkansas campus, as part of the spring lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design.

Blakeman, a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects (FASLA), is the Gulf Coast Resilience and Planning Lead for Moffatt & Nichol, a multidisciplinary firm that focuses on engineering and design where land meets water. As a landscape architect and planner, she brings various perspectives that have enabled her to be a creative problem-solver throughout her 25-year career.

In her lecture, “Exploring the Agency of Landscape Architecture in Climate Adaptation,” Blakeman will explore the role of landscape architects in addressing the complex impacts of climate change. Using project examples, she will show the value design thinking and transdisciplinary collaboration brings to adaptation and resilience.

Blakeman is also the 2025 Verna C. Garvan Distinguished Visitor in Landscape Architecture. 

This lecture is open to the public. Admission is free, with limited seating.
