Beyound Services: Design With Dredge
ABSTRACT
Landscape architecture is in the midst of a renaissance. For the first time, a landscape architect was awarded the McArthur Foundation Fellowship. Large professional service contracts are being tendered to practitioners to reimagine urban parks, waterfronts, and downtown development districts. The scope and scale of these projects are significant, as are the impacts these commissions are having on the social, ecological, and economic fabric of the cities in which they are taking place. However, inasmuch as the client-driven professional service model through which these landscapes take shape is essential to the financial health and prestige of landscape architects, it represents only one model of landscape practice. The Design with Dredge program seeks to expand beyond services and into a model of professional practice that proactively collocates research, design, experimentation, activism, and adaptive management with community and strategic partnerships. The model does not attempt to supplant or undermine the business of landscape architecture. What it does do is to widen the aperture of possibilities and extend the field of action for landscape architects who wish to engage more directly with the medium of landscape and specifically with anthropogenic sediment processes including large- and small-scale dredging operations. This broadened professional nexus creates opportunities for practitioners, community members, academics, regulators, and industry experts to advance shared conceptual frameworks, planning priorities, and applied landscape strategies for resilient dredged material management in the Baltimore-Chesapeake Bay region, providing a precedent for others who may wish to explore new modes of practice and emerging landscape infrastructure issues facing port cities and coastal communities.

1 Background and Problems
The Design with Dredge program is a collaborative platform for applied design research led by Mahan Rykiel Associates (MRA) in partnership with Brian Davis, assistant professor of Cornell University and member of the Dredge Research Collaborative (DRC), and the Maryland Port Administration (MPA). It is situated within the evolving milieu of contemporary landscape practice in North America, which since its professionalization on the continent in the 19th century has embraced a set of professional concerns that lie beyond the boundary of site. This is most reflected in the New Landscape Declaration developed by the Landscape Architecture Foundation and signed by more than 1,700 practitioners from around the globe, which captures the contemporary call to action and the expanded field of landscape architecture today. The Design with Dredge program positions anthropogenic sediment manipulation processes, materials, and methods as a subject of landscape architectural practice. The program works with communities and industry in the context of sea level rise, changing ecosystems, and cultural landscapes of the Chesapeake Bay and beyond, through a focus on the most basic of landscape materials — mud.
This positioning is part of MRAs proactive approach to professional practice that leverages research and development, strategic partnerships, and design activism to move beyond the conventional landscape architectural service model and its emphasis on client-driven outcomes to a collaborative work model that emphasizes multiple clients and multiple outcomes. The firm formulated this approach, which is described as the Collaborative Practice model to address the interconnected challenges of anthropogenic climate change, establish a role for landscape architects in non-traditional markets, and strengthen its staff capacity through professional development and continuing education (Fig. 1). In the context of this expanded service model, MRA and its partners work to define applied and pragmatic frameworks for professional engagement that focuses on questions of economic development, ecological stewardship, and community identity. Anthropogenic sediment and its operations provide a panoptic entry point for this type of proactive landscape practice. Translocated primarily through land forming processes, a core competency of landscape architecture, sediment, and specifically dredged sediment is unequivocally of and about landscape. It is the in-situ substrate of estuarine ecosystems and coastal wetlands, yet in oversupply, it is a pollutant with harmful environmental effects. Sediment is also undeniably urban and infrastructural; it is the stuff on which many coastal cities are built, an erosional byproduct of terrestrial construction projects and residue of marine dredging operations (Fig. 2).
Understood through this layered lens, sediment is what Jane Bennett describes as Vibrant Matter, a networked material with agency that extends beyond the province of humans111. For landscape practitioners, this formulation of sediment provides a theoretical positioning tied to the disciplinary dialogue of landscape urbanism121, landscape infrastructure, and landscape instrumentality11. It also presents a professional proposition for proactive practitioners interested in engaging sediment processes as the subject of design inquiry and activism.
