Research Director Andrea Johnson is one of six people selected for the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership. Using decentralized solar projects in NYC as a lens for analysis, Andrea’s project will investigate the ways in which communities are building social power through energy generation and how the landscape discipline might reinforce these movements. Ultimately, she seeks to develop planning and design criteria that embraces the dynamic nature and cultural dimensions of power systems.
