The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAt Beta Group Inc. in Lincoln, R.I., Socha works on design projects for roads, campuses and public landscapes. At Glen Gate Company, a large design-build company in Connecticut, Russ works with in-house designers and contractors to install large-scale residential and commercial designs.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cThe connection of \u2018divergent paths and common themes\u2019 will be reflected through our experiences post college.  We both left URI with similar skills, but we have chosen completely different areas to continue to develop within,\u201d says Russ. Socha will illustrate this theme by discussing the differences between three major projects, as well as lessons learned in the field.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nUpcoming lecturers this spring will be Robert Golde, partner in Towers\/Golde (Feb. 26); Peter Trowbridge of Trowbridge, Wolf, Michael (Mar. 12); MIT Landscape Architecture Professor Anne Whiston Spirn (Apr. 9); and Kaki Martin of Klopfer Martin Design Group (Apr. 23).<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAll talks are free, open to the public and begin at 7 p.m. in Weaver Auditorium of the URI Coastal Institute in Kingston.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe URI Landscape Architecture series is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the URI College of the Environment and Life Sciences, the URI College of Arts and Sciences, and Landscape Forms. Anne Spirn\u2019s lecture will be co-sponsored by the URI Art Department.
