Automobiles. How innovations made for those were used in development of americas freeways. She highlights the work of the firm and described how many parkways were imagined as aesthetic subpoenases, not just roads between places. Her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. Professor hohmann ok, gang, today we are looking at the development of roads in the world of landscape and architect and land development. You guys probably know that you dont know a lot of Landscape Architects who do roads. Its not something we associate with Landscape Architect to you. It wasnt always so, in fact, the modern free away that you guys drive every day has its roots in Landscape Architecture and the park planning that we have been talking about this semester. Im going to start with a little bit of review and this familiar landscape which everyone should, i hope recognize which is of course Prospect Park. So we look at the development of central park and Prospect Park, the next great park in the late 1860

So if we think about this, which is the first one of the first references to parkways in the United States. Olmstead and vox based their idea off paris. In this early conception of the parkway, they are thinking about a couple of rather simple ideas. First it is a wider than average street. Second, parkways in the early conception were usually treelined. Weve talked a little bit about boulevards and essentially a parkway in the beginning was a wide street with trees indistinguishable from the term boulevard. They are pretty much identical. The most significant difference is the name, which provided a sense of the utility of the parkway as linking a park to park. Norman newton in your text says the parkway provides the psychological carryover of the restful influence of one large park area into its echo in another with little or no interruption along the way.

Then we look at Prospect Park, which is olmsteds next great park in the late 1860s. They designed roads associated with this park. These were intended to be broad treelined streets spinning off the edges of the park in here. There are originally supposed to be four. Two are actually built eastern and Ocean Parkway. And here is a view of Ocean Parkway from 1894. So if we think about this, which is the first one of the first references to parkways in the United States. Olmstead and vox based their idea off of fauch avenue in paris. So if youre thinking of alfond and housmans work e

Teaching had become definitely the most controversial profession discussed in our public life. In the media, and i have a member of the media, but veteran teachers were generally portrayed as undereducated, as incompetents and insufficiently committed to closing the achievement gap. Now research showed then and still today that there are really big and Serious Problems with American Public schools, such as a curriculum thats not up to snuff with our international peers, too much rote teaching, too many work sheathes, rote learning and the segregation of our low income children of color in separate classrooms and separate schools.
