Suburbia Transformed: Origins of the James Rose House & Garden

September 28, 2024

Visit the James Rose Center for a unique opportunity within the home. This lecture explores the origins and evolution of Rose’s modern design concepts from his student years in the 1930s until his passing in 1991, as it analyzes how they led to the design and evolution of what is likely his most significant work: his own home in Ridgewood, NJ.

Dean Cardasis, FASLA, is professor emeritus of landscape architecture at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; director of the James Rose Center; and principal designer of Cave Hill Landscape Architects. His landscape designs and modern preservation projects have won national awards, and his articles on modern and contemporary design have been widely published. His biography of James Rose, James Rose: A Voice Offstage, won the J.B. Jackson Prize from the Foundation for Landscape Studies.
