Faculty update: 2014-15 transitions and changing roles

We’re thrilled to start the 2014-15 school year with new faculty on UF’s campus and at DCP. We’d also like to recognize those who have changed their roles within DCP.

Rob Holmes joins DCP as a LAE Lecturer. He has practiced landscape architecture in Virginia, has taught in Virginia, Louisiana and Ohio, and was educated in Georgia and Virginia. His writing, research and design work explores new modes of territorial design and planning in light of reciprocal relationships between contemporary urbanization, industrial networks and large-scale anthropogenic landscape change. Holmes is co-founder of both Mammoth, a blog about infrastructures, logistics, landscapes, and architectural possibilities, and the Dredge Research Collaborative, which studies human sediment handling practices in the Anthropocene and organizes the DredgeFest event series.
