A Unique Sense of Place: Mike Allmendinger at TEDxFargo City 2.0
Landscape Architects bring a unique and creative vision when designing spaces. Their visions tend to dig further into existing context to blend with the inherent sense of place. The term sense of place is defined differently and used in many different ways by many different people. It is often tied to the geographic characteristics of a city, state, or entire regions. Places that have a strong sense of place, have a strong identity and character that is defined by cultural features and is shaped by the people who occupy the place. Mike Allmendinger has an extensive history with landscape architecture, design and construction. Growing up in a family-owned landscape construction business in Wahpeton, ND, Mike was exposed to the potential of Landscape Architecture in this region, which led him to enroll at North Dakota State University. In 2003, Mike opened Land Elements, a Landscape Architecture firm, where he assists clients in realizing their goals, all while creating a unique sense of place. Besides being a Landscape Architect, he is also the General Manager of Kilbourne Group, a real estate development company. Mike also serves on the Alumni Board for the Architecture and Landscape Architecture Department at North Dakota State University.

Fletcher Steele and Naumkeag: A Playground of the Imagination
Between 1926 and 1955, landscape architect Fletcher Steele and his client Mabel Choate created many new gardens for Naumkeag, the Choate family summer estate in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The new designs respected the layout of earlier gardens created c. 1885 by Nathan Barrett for the original Stanford White "cottage." A vibrant relationship developed between Steele and Choate, whose work began with Naumkeag #39;s Afternoon Garden and soon progressed to other features in the landscape: the South Lawn, Chinese Temple Garden, Blue Steps, and Rose Garden. Each of these designs reflected the tempo of its time and also connected visitors to the beauty of the Berkshire Mountains, visible from any part of the landscape. It is a magical site, truly a playground of the imagination. This film was made possible by a generous gift from the Viburnum Trilobum Fund of the New York Community Trust, advised by Nancy R. Turner. All films in the series are created in association with Hott Productions of Florentine Films.
