Dr. Edward Papenfuse will give a presentation on Thomas Poppleton's significant contribution to the mapping and the development of Baltimore's neighborhoods. He will accompany his illustrated remarks on the career of Thomas Poppleton with applying the 1822 and 1851 versions of Poppleton's map to Google Earth in a quest for lost neighborhoods and the no longer extant architecture of the City.
The Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that link together the diverse neighborhoods, cultural amenities and outdoor resources that make up the landscape of Baltimore City. Join us to learn how we are building a coalition as diverse as Baltimore to advance this important project and learn how we have been able to engage with AIA’s Urban Design Committee to bring the power of design thinking to this critical project for Baltimore’s future.
Ed Orser will share the legacy of the Olmsteds' park designs on Baltimore's park system. For 75 years the nationally-renowned Olmsted firm (father, son, and step-son) played a major role shaping the park system of Baltimore. During a period of rapid growth for the city, they provided comprehensive plans in 1904 and 1926 as well as specific recommendations and designs for park projects. Their legacy is evident in today’s park system.
