For the first episode of Footnotes, I invited Usue Ruiz Arana—an award-winning landscape architect and senior lecturer at Newcastle University, where she teaches across design studios, professional practice, and design thesis modules.Usue’s research and scholarship advance landscape architecture as a discipline uniquely positioned to respond to planetary health, biodiversity and climate crises, and questions of social and ecological justice. Her work spans the intersecting fields of acoustic ecology, multispecies collaboration, and research by design. Through her publications and creative outputs, she is establishing a strong international presence in these emerging areas.Our conversation touches on many aspects of her practice and research; all deeply rooted in a recognition of the importance of sound in designing our shared environments. You’ll hear how listening can meaningfully inform landscape architecture and shape more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable public spaces. You’ll also discover why—and how—we should include more-than-human actors and their voices in the planning and creation of our lived environments. I met Usue in early summer this year and we walked in two different environments, connected via mobile phones. Enjoy the record of this walk. And check out the footnotes below that list and elaborate on references mentioned during the walk.
