Landscape's Dramatic Potential in Talk at Madoo in Manhattan

Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, a British landscape architect, will present the fifth annual Madoo in Manhattan lecture on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Cosmopolitan Club. Titled “The Dramatic Potential of Landscape,” his talk will cover recent projects in Britain and the West Indies.
