THE HISTORY OF GRAND JUNCTION   Grand Junction’s identity lies within the beauty of its streams and landscape features, with Cool Creek at its center. Throughout history the profile of Cool Creek and the surrounding community’s relationship to it has changed. With its origins as a babbling brook, the rise of agrarian culture resulted in the Swamp Act of 1850 which aimed to remove water from potentially productive land, prompting channelization of the creek. The consequences of this scarification were destabilization and the erosion of soils.     Fast f ..read more

How Did We Get Here? A little over a year ago, the perception of the world was altered in scale with the aid of a malicious, microscopic virus whose impact was both vastly global and horribly intimate. For some of us, it was a second global pandemic in our lifetimes, the first being HIV/AIDS, and now in the present, an invisible specter is passed through gathering, proximity, and air. Like so many, DAVID RUBIN Land Collective shut its studio doors in favor of remote engagement and virtual collaboration. We soldiered on to find the balance between designing landscapes o ..read more
