"Notes On The Contaminated State Of Virginia" Is The Topic Of A Lecture By U.Va. Landscape Architecture Assistant Professor Julie Bargmann

February 17, 2000 -- Known for her proactive approach to reclaiming contaminated industrial sites, Julie Bargmann, assistant professor of landscape architecture at the University of Virginia, will speak about contamination problems and solutions in the state on Friday, Feb. 25, at 12:30 p.m. in Campbell Hall, Room 153.

Part of a lecture series on ethics in architecture, Bargmann’s talk will offer challenging alternatives to the traditional methods of "cap, cover, hog and haul" which have been among the standard ways of dealing with contaminated landscapes. Using new technologies and science in the design of earthen and planted forms, Bargmann takes what she describes as a holistic approach to remediation of toxic sites.
