2023 The Loy McCandless Marks Scholarship (an International Scholarship in Tropical Horticulture or Landscape Architecture)
Fibers of Resilience: Multiscalar Architectural Adaptability and Ethnobotanical Traditions of the Uru People
Maffie will explore the relationship between indigenous horticultural traditions and architectural knowledge as a form of self-determination and environmental resilience in Peru. Totora, a keystone species in Lake Titicaca that supports the architectural construction of the Uru’s living homes and archipelagic floating islands, will be studied. Maffie will administer ethnographic interviews, document landscape architectural details, draw on horticultural traditions, and conduct geospatial mapping to reveal otherwise hidden geographies. The project will promote an understanding of the international interdependence of horticulture and will disseminate the ways in which vernacular landscapes provide a form of resilience.
