Mississippi Delta Studio

The Mississippi Delta poses a particular challenge to designers in the face of its tumultuous history of inundation, reclamation, and discrimination. Out of the mainstream of American life and prosperity, there is an elusiveness and resistance buried deep in the soil of this working landscape of former plantations, levees, ditches, mechanized farming, Wal-marts, small towns and rural shacks. The aim of the studio is to propose landscape projects that recognize and engage the elusiveness of the Delta, the material processes and practices that lie ‘behind the scene'.
