RE\/ALIGNMENT<\/em><\/strong> was the inaugural journal produced by students of the landscape architecture program at the GSD, edited by Heidi Hohmann, Jean Cavanaugh, and Barry Abrams. The journal\u2019s title and editorial stance signaling a commitment to dialogue, echoing Virginia Woolf\u2019s assertion that \u201ccommunication is health.\u201d Its first editorial articulated a clear ambition: \u201cre\/alignment will try to shatter the enervating silence of the profession [\u2026] landscape architecture needs a crucible for developing voices, a publication that fosters written exchange between members of our field and other design professions. To this end, re\/alignment hopes to advance an eclectic discussion between practitioners, academics, and students. [\u2026] we must re-examine our past and re-think our present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication\u2019s inaugural issue opened with a satirical proposal for a \u201cPete Walker design-alike competition\u201d in which participants were invited to outdo Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre. The lack of response to this provocation arguably foreshadowed the brevity of the journal\u2019s lifespan. Nevertheless, several of its contributions remain of lasting significance, including interviews with Garret Eckbo (conducted by Deborah Gerhard) and Dan Kiley (conducted by Jane Amidon). Also of note is Paula Meijerink speculative redesign of Franklin Park \u2014Frederick Law Olmsted\u2019s 19th-century park in Boston\u2014 posed as a response to the question, \u201cWhat should the park of the 21st century be like?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with many student-led initiatives, the journal\u2019s continuity proved vulnerable to the graduation of its editors. This structural challenge \u2014often overlooked in the initial enthusiasm of launching such a publication\u2014 underscores the difficulty of sustaining student journals beyond their founding cohort and highlights the need for models of institutional support and continuity if such endeavors are to endure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
