Center
Director Julie Bargmann is nationally recognized as an innovative
designer in building regenerative landscapes and with interdisciplinary
design education. Her on-going design research Project D.I.R.T.
(Design Investigations Reclaiming Terrain) continues to
excavate the creative potential of disturbed landscapes.
At the University of Virginia, Associate Professor Bargmann's
investigative graduate design studios and seminars challenge
restrictive policies and conventional remediation practices
that plague Superfund sites and Brownfields. Applying this
research at her small design practice, projects at the D.I.R.T.
studio (Dump It Right There) explore past and present industrial
and urban processes in relationship to ecological systems,
cultural constructs and emerging technologies.
