    A conversation with Landscape architect Hugo Bruley about Paris urban life, constraints and beauty, and the work of HBLA office. Join Eduardo Guerrero, urban designer based in Tucson, as he talks with urban idealists and designers about their work and stories. Listen in as he engages these relevant thinkers in reflections and conversations about the environment and culture.   Paris soundscapes by Hugo Bruley.   14 Hugo Bruley, Landscape architecture / Paris   Biography: Hugo Bruley is a French landscape architect and founder of HBLA – Hugo Bruley Landscape Architecture, in Paris. For over a decade, he gained experience working in international landscape architecture firms such as Integrated Design in India, Peter Walker & Partners in San Francisco, or Michel Desvigne in Paris.  He has worked on a great number of projects, very diverse in scale and nature. Involved at every stage of the project’s development and implementation, he now has a complete approach of the landscape architecture field. Hugo is also Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the Loire Valley Institute of Technology (INSA-ENP) in Blois, France. He previously taught at the University of California, UC Berkeley and the Paris-La Villette Architecture School in Paris.   Education: Master of Landscape Architecture · College of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning · University of California, Berkeley · USA · 2011   Master Ingénieur Paysagiste · National School for Higher Studies in Nature and Landscape Architecture · Blois · France · 2008   Office / Workplace: HBLA is a landscape architecture and urban planning office based in Paris. HBLA designers imagine projects in various countries, working alongside public or private entities. Among the office’s core values is the belief that landscape architecture stands as an essential practice to the resolution of some of the most important challenges faced by our societies. It implies a fundamental multidisciplinary approach, which leads us to work with all environmental design practices such as architects, urban designers but also city and traffic planners, artists or even historians. Every project’s challenges design the specific collaboration we aim for. Therefore, the work of the office spans over a wide diversity of projects varying in scale, nature, and context, from large urban and territorial planning studies to the design of public spaces, urban parks, or gardens. Since scales engage with one another, HBLA is focused on maintaining a versatile practice. Reaching far beyond a green trend, the office uses tools of landscape and geography to create strong yet sensitive landscapes through simple but impactful interventions. Each project is an opportunity to (re)connect a site with its identity and larger context.   Distinctions & Publications: 2020 Oct. · AMC n° 290 · Requalification du Quai de Southampton · Le Havre · France 2020 · Equerre d'Argent · Requalification du Quai de Southampton · Le Havre · France · (Hugo Bruley Project Director for MDP) 2015 Jan. · AM Architecture du Maroc n°63 · Concours Habitat Durable, Economique et Innovant 2015 · AM Architecture du Maroc n°63 · Concours Habitat Durable, Economique et Innovant · first prize 2014 · Vision42 Design Competition · New-York · USA · first prize 2011 · Everyday Landscape: Designing for informal uses at the edge.

  7. Tucson urban soundscape

    05/10/2023

    Tucson urban soundscape

    This sound installation represents a collection of audio moments captured within and through the Tucson urban landscape. The collection archives a spatial momentum and proposes an alternative hymn professing what it means to exist, and to sense, in this city. Evoking a sense of place, this installation maps Tucson via the Sunlink streetcar, Tucson’s public transit infrastructure thus rendering audio from its sensorial intensities. Following the Tucson Sunlink streetcar is meant to impress upon visitors of this installation a sense of path. The audio will compress and decompress as the collected material collages and transitions from both day and night, as it speaks to the range of intensities offered to us by this urban landscape. In the presence of these sounds, one might encounter a resonant cadence rooted in Tucson’s urban imaginary. The sound bites collected represent Tucson through the lens of CAPLA’s Urban agency colloquium students. Athba Alradaan + Fatima Alzahraa Alsulaiman S M S, Graphic art. Tabitha Rodriguez, Text.
