Michael Geffel Michael Geffel (terrestrial practice) is a registered landscape architect, Professor of Practice at the University of Oregon, and Program Manager of the Overlook Field School. With design research broadly focused on experimental landscapes, his principal method of study uses field experiment to understand the generative capacity of maintenance in the construction of novel ecosystems.Michael earned a master's degree in landscape architecture from the University of Virginia and a BS in geography from the University of Oregon. He has professional experience working on public urban landscapes, landscapes on structure, and green infrastructure following a previous career in horticulture and restoration contracting.

The American Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) 2020 conference was my first one as a PhD student. As I was preparing for the conference, I had high expectations for meeting with academic leaders in the field and having in-depth conversations with colleagues studying at other schools. Also, the

This article proposes reevaluating the methods for consulting archives to write landscape histories. Archives hold immense amounts of human and non-human data, but approaching them purely to extract information causes the historian to miss past networks of affinity. By using a field method, one grounded in an ethic of care and focused on maintaining the ecologies of the past, researchers can identify important actors and events among their archival traces and write landscape histories that animate social, political, and biological processes and struggles important to that landscape and beyond its borders. Using important debates in the humanities around archival inclusion and composition, avenues of interpretation, and the pleasures and frustrations of working with incomplete information, I argue that landscape is a particularly insightful and inclusive way to organize historiography. The article concludes with four methodological episodes, each highlighting a different dimension of landscape history as a practice of radical empathy and affirmative maintenance.

Prädiktive Instandhaltung auf Basis sogenannter digitaler Zwillinge gilt als eine zentrale Innovation der Industrie 4.0. Sie wurde als Schlüsselthema erkannt und wird als Voraussetzung für zukünftigen Erfolg gesehen, da mit ihrer Hilfe Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen und die dazugehörigen Entscheidungen im komplexen industriellen Umfeld zielgerichteter und aktiver getroffen werden können. Die Intralogistik, die wesentlich zum wirtschaftlichen Erfolg von Unternehmen beiträgt, ist aufgrund der strategischen Bedeutung aber auch der dringlichen Notwendigkeit in Hinblick auf die Sicherstellung der technischen Verfügbarkeit besonders gefordert, die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung möglichst rasch zu antizipieren. Dieser Beitrag möchte die bestehenden Ansätze und Methoden des Instandhaltungsmanagement aufgreifen und eine Brücke hin zu den Möglichkeiten und Visionen der Industrie 4.0 schlagen, wodurch ein Konzept für eine integrierte (ganzheitliche), wissensbasierte Instandhaltung in der Intralogistik entstehen soll.

Landscape architecture is unique as a design practice in its engagement with living nonhumans as instrumental media. However, contemporary landscape architecture theory has struggled to integrate fauna as components of the designed landscape beyond calls to provide and preserve habitat and address the philosophical implications of such a gesture. Animals and other mobile entities, when recognized as integral components of landscapes rather than occasional inhabitants, challenge static notions of landscapes as passive spaces and instead invigorate them as lively events. Some early writings on landscape practice and theory, dating back to the picturesque movement, acknowledge the presence of animals in the landscape. More recently, some landscape designers have imagined new roles for animals. No longer are they passive objects or visitors or inhabitants, blindly providing ecosystem services. Increasingly, these designers have explored the role of animals as active agents shaping the landscape, in ways that reimagine interspecies relationships and subjectivities. Provocations for “animal-aided design” are emblematic of this novel take on the animal in the landscape. Using animacy as a tool for revealing various relational qualities of landscapes, this article joins with calls to attend to the liveliness of other beings as productive and creative agents.
