Jessica Roundy [RISD MLA ’09, Landscape Architecture]
Jessica’s work activates landscape architecture as a tool to integrate science and design. Her explorations of space and place examine the relationships between cultural and ecological networks. Water has become a primary focus of Jessica’s work, as she seeks to articulate how we might more effectively and creatively address it as a crucial global resource. Her work considers water as material, concept, surface, icon, system, resource and culture.
Jessica’s thesis investigates islands as terrain bound into a single landform by water--a boundary constantly shifting and dissolving in connection with ecological and cultural conditions. In order to be self-sustaining entities, natural and cultural processes must acknowledge a critical balance between where systems transcend the edge and where they are contained by it. In this regard, the dynamic edge of the shoreline becomes a significant space for culture and ecologies where they are either held of released into their greater context.
