Sure, you can go to Brimfield to instagram rusty bicycles…or you can source unique site furnishings for your residential design clients. Vintage steel mill bin* ($35) with recycled mahogany top (custom) and cast iron cauldron ($40) are coupled with Woodard mesh sculptra patio chairs to fit the client’s industrial meets mid-century outdoor aesthetic.
*The hand-painted “8” puts this piece over!

The BSLA EPs are hosting nerd nite this Monday…and we’re making efforts to reach out to the larger design community beyond landscape architecture; Lee Moreau from Continuum Innovation and Maxim from Formlabs will be discussing their work at the Middlesex Lounge on April 29th in Cambridge.
Be a dork and show up early for free drinks courtesy of ReCover. Big ups to Landscape Forms for their continued financial support.

I’m exhibiting work in the up coming Boston Fun-A-Day group show.
My friend/co-worker Mary Lewey is also exhibiting a fantastic set of collages (many of which are sourced from vintage architecture magazines. You can see some of her work at http://dignifiedconversation.tumblr.com/
My drawing series aim to re-discover the North American landscape by investigating its diverse ecological and cultural landscapes covering topics ranging from soil profiles to stone fences, beavers to broken ax handles, coastal mapping to geology ID tags, point blankets to nurse logs, and colonial flags to other disruptive pattern material found in New England and the Far North of Canada.

Beavers are ecosystem engineers in that their two principle activities, their construction of dams and their foraging, can profoundly change channel “geomorphology and consequently the hydrological characteristics and biotic properties of their landscape” (Rosell et al. 2005, MacDowell and Neiman 1986). Beavers create ponds that alter a series of resources used by other organisms (Neiman et al. 1986, Jones et al. 1994). In the creation of ponds beavers in effect “change, maintain, and create habitat by modulating the availability of resources of both biotic and abiotic materials for themselves and for other species” (Jones et al. 1994). This modulation of resources has profound ecological effects and has the power to transform landscapes on a large scale
Online creative portfolio of David Buckley Borden; artist, landscape designer (highly unlicensed landscape architect), and humorist hailing from the great state of New England.
David is a recent graduate from the landscape architecture masters program at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and now works as a landscape designer within the Urban Studio at Sasaki Associates.
When not drawing on paper or chasing wild goose bumps and full-body shivers, David can be found playing in the dirt in and around his Cambridge, Massachusetts home.
Inquiries welcome.
