Landscape architects often find themselves in the middle of widely competing interests. The presenters have been working for years in leading these interests to balance contemporary uses within Balboa Park, a National Historic Landmark District. Their Plaza de Panama project is now out to bid after years of controversy.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how landscape architects can rise to leadership roles in important historic preservation issues.
• Understand the challenges of adapting historic places to support rapidly changing activities and extreme levels of use.
• Understand the relationship of national, state, city, and community regulations and processes in historic landscapes.
• Gain insight into the relationship between design and communications in effective leadership by landscape architects.
