Her background includes bench r esearch in plant breeding and genomics\, in addition to animal science. Sh e developed curriculum at the Nanobiotechnology Center and Cornell Univers ity\, designing K-12 science kits and laboratory modules for programs that were funded by the National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health\, prior to pursuing her MLA.\n\nJing Fan MLA '12\, RLA\, Associate Principal\, Hargreaves Jones Landscape Architecture\, has worked on a vari ety of high-profile projects in the United States and China\, including pu blic parks\, urban plazas\, campuses\, and mixed-use developments. She bri ngs a deep passion for integrating vibrant public realm landscapes with ur ban development so that cities and communities can thrive\, supported by h er professional background in both landscape architecture and urban planni ng. Jing has led many projects from concept design through construction do cumentation and implementation\, including many urban landscapes built on structure. Jing led the team on Google's Charleston East Campus project in Mountain View\, CA\, a project that is currently under construction and w ill create a significant public open space for both Google employees and t he local community\, while re-establishing the urban ecological system. Ji ng also led the design of Margaret T. Hance Park Design and Development\, a 32-acre Park over a US interstate highway in downtown Phoenix\, AZ.

Large Parks edited by Julia Czerniak and George Hargreaves.\n\n \;\n\ n"Across the Pacific Rim: Architecture and Landscape in Translation" begin s with what the Pacific Ocean is: a fluid place\, a sea where ideas\, peop le\, and artifacts move. It questions the framing of this great body of wa ter as a barrier or a void\, concepts that are rooted in colonialism and i mperialism. Instead\, it posits the Pacific as an active stage for exchang ing and translating ideas\, concepts\, materials\, and technologies about constructed environments. The designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and a ctivists featured in this series are situated along the Pacific Rim. They examine areas\, products\, and product histories along the Pacific Rim. Th ey call on this positionality to offer exceptional\, transnational\, bound ary-breaking\, hybrid practices and research that contribute to a shared e nvironment and a collective future.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Ar chitecture Sciame Auditorium with a remote option available.\n\nIf you are interested in attending via Zoom\, please register here.\n\nSee https:// www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requirements for in-person vis itors.\n\n \;\n\nThis lecture series is made possible by the Spitzer A rchitecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of S ciame Construction.
