Cheramie selected to lead Landscape Architecture Section
Associate Professor Kristi Cheramie has been named head of the Landscape Architecture section in the Knowlton School.
Running parallel to her projects in Rome, Cheramie also works on the implications of early 20th-century flood control infrastructure in the Lower Mississippi River Basin. In addition to writing, Cheramie’s visual work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. Most recently, the exhibit After the Great Flood: Recovering Impossible Histories of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (with Matthew Seibert) was installed at the University of Virginia. This is the fourth installation of this work, opening first in the Banvard Gallery of the Knowlton School in 2016. Her work on Louisiana coastal communities compromised by land loss, sea level rise, and competing industrial interests has been supported by the Van Alen Institute and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Cheramie holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree from the University of Virginia and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where she was awarded the John K. Branner Traveling Fellowship.
