🎓 Meet the Faculty: Dr. Jean Yang – Landscape Architect & Systems Thinker
In this inspiring episode of Meet the Faculty, we sit down with Dr. Jean Yang, a visionary landscape architect at SUNY ESF whose work redefines how we connect with the land. From discovering ESF through the legacy of Dan Kiley to leading transformative courses in landscape architecture, Dr. Yang shares how ecology, culture, and performance shape her teaching and design philosophy.
🌿 Explore how her approach moves beyond aesthetics to embrace systems thinking, ecological archetypes, and embodied experiences. Her course, Intro to Landscape Architecture, challenges students to rethink public spaces—connecting design to history, economics, and even sports.
💬 “Landscape architecture is a way where we can embody a different way that we connect to the Earth.”
🤝 Discover how ESF’s interdisciplinary environment fosters collaboration across fields—from microbiology to environmental studies—creating a unique space where ideas flourish and students are empowered to define their own paths.
