PrideScapes
Visibility, research, and discussion of queer spaces and people within the field of landscape architecture has largely been missing from the profession’s discourse. PrideScapes, an emergent research initiative launched in 2021, seeks to explore queer landscapes and to clarify the crucial importance of preserving queer spaces, telling untold queer histories, and bringing visibility to historically and culturally significant queer landscapes. Our research aims to speak to the intricacies and complexities of queer existence in public space but also how queer and trans people interact with landscape and architecture and how they imagine and reimagine their futures in these spaces.
PrideScapes is also a platform to build community, form solidarities and create visibility within the profession. We aim to create spaces for queer and trans landscape designers and architects to advocate, share work and support/connect with one another.
