"For the past 30 years, the landscape architectural firm of Steve Martino & Associates has been committed to the development and advancement of landscape architecture in the Southwest. With a demonstrated knowledge of materials and design skills, SM & A strives to integrate the needs of people and nature in clear and understandable terms.
Landscape Architect Steve Martino, FASLA, has earned a national reputation for consistent design excellence. Steve’s pioneering work with native plant material and the development of a desert-derived design aesthetic is widely recognized. A recurring theme of his work has been the dramatic juxtaposition of man-made elements with ecological processes. Celebrating the special characteristics of the desert has always been a passion."

Mason White, University of Toronto, Lateral Architecture, InfraNet Lab
"Networked Ecologies: Infra-Architecture"
Wednesday 4:00-4:55 PM
Cook Douglass Lecture Hall 110
Mason White has a B.Arch from Virginia Tech and an M.Arch from Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Mason’s work and research privileges architecture as a mutable territory that is formed out of and responsive to its environment and history. His work, research and teaching invites readings of Architecture as a byproduct of complex networks within ecology and culture. Design is conceived more as a system for open patterns of use and active engagement rather than merely arranged objects. Recent research pursues questions of the role of infrastructure and networks within contemporary spatial practice. His design research exists at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and urbanism. It is often situated within sites where the systems and codes that determine these environments must be uncovered and rethought.
Mason founded Lateral Office <http://www.lateralarch.com> in 2002 in partnership with Lola Sheppard. He is also Director of InfraNet Lab <http://www.infranetlab.org> , an exploratory initiative launched in 2008. InfraNet Lab is a non-profit research collective probing the spatial byproducts of contemporary resource logistics.
Mason received the Alumni Travel Fellowship from Virginia Tech in 2001, and was the Lefevre Emerging Practitioner Fellow at Ohio State University in 2003-04. In 2005, Lateral Office was selected for the Young Architects Forum by the Architectural League of New York.
Mason’s work has been published in Young Architects: Situating (Princeton Architectural Press, 2006), Canadian Architect, Landscape Architecture, C3 and l’Arca. His writing has been published in Alphabet City: Fuel (MIT Press, 2008), Ourtopias (Riverside Press, 2008), MARK, Detail, A+U, and 306090. Mason has taught at Cornell University, The Ohio State University, and is currently the Director of the Master of Architecture program at the University of Toronto, Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape & Design.

Thomas Woltz, ASLA
"Designing the Frame; landscape architecture as a tool in ecological conservation, education and sustainable agriculture."
Wednesday 4:00-4:55 PM
Cook Douglass Lecture Hall 110
Mr. Woltz is a landscape architect who holds Masters degrees in Architecture and in Landscape Architecture from the University of Virginia. He studied Architecture and Fine Art as an undergraduate and later studied architecture in Italy and French Literature at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 2003 he became a partner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects in Charlottesville, VA, following seven years working with partner Warren Byrd and five years working in Venice, Italy. In addition to his practice, Mr. Woltz maintains a part-time faculty position at the University of Virginia School of Architecture. He currently teaches Sites and Systems, a graduate course which explores ecological system analysis as a generator of design strategies in architecture and landscape architecture. Through teaching and constructed form, he seeks to emphasize the rich dialogue between the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, and ecological process. Woltz is currently designing a number of projects, (some dealing with large scale environmental conservation efforts) in Central Virginia, Jamaica, the New York region, and in New Zealand. Nelson Byrd Woltz opened a branch office in Manhattan in 2004 and since then he has divided his time between the two offices. Woltz is a board member of The Cultural Landscape Foundation.
