Any landscape intervention must carefully consider the hydrology of a site.  Because water is predominantly encountered in its liquid form, most landscape projects need only design for the element between 0 and 100 degrees c.  H20 in its non-liquid form is rarely utilized, although snow, ice and steam are incredibly dynamic and useful materials.  Case studies from Iceland to the Rocky Mountains illustrate untapped potential for landscape architecture's experimentation with temperature, chemistry, and hydrology.

Claire Agre is a New York City-based landscape architect with particular interest in the ecological processes and visualization of complex urban landscapes.  Currently at Hargreaves Associates, she has contributed design and directed representation for a number of large scale park and riverfront projects around the world.  Most recently, Claire served on the design team for the London Olympics 2012 Parklands which seeks to embody the notion of a "GREEN GAMES."  Claire worked on the ASLA Award-Winning Riverfront Master Plan for New Orleans, now beginning phase one of schematic design.
