Patricia Algara, Principal of BASE Landscape, will present “Design and Urban Agriculture” Thursday, Feb. 13 at 4:30 p.m. in Goertzen Communication Addition, room 21.
Patricia is a visiting professor at UC Berkeley and UC Berkeley Extension, where she teaches “Designing for Difference” a class that looks at the social factors for designing public spaces. She was the faculty advisor for the 2011 ASLA Communications Honor Award and last year she was awarded the “Tending the City” – 10 woman campaign award for her educational and community building work as the co-director and founder of the Algarden Demonstration Urban Farm. Patricia is a Permaculture designer and avid beekeeper who strives to apply values that she has learned from the bees in her designs: that beauty, function, structure, and communication can intersect sweetly.
