T.O.S.S.E.D./S.A.L.A.D.: Subverting Today for a Better Tomorrow

Abstract

MLA students Tres Fromme and Bradley Nestor formed Transgressing Our Severely Stunted Environmental Design/Secret Association of Landscape Architects Deconstructing (T.O.S.S.E.D./S.A.L.A.D.) in January of 1994 to inject active dialogue and discussion into the complacent discourses of landscape architecture as manifested in the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design. After six posters, Nestor left for the “real world,” and MHP student Michael Landers joined his computer art expertise with Fromme's ideas and rhetorical musings. This relationship proved to be dynamically collaborative and energizing, producing the thirty-one posters while further defining S.A.L.A.D.'s identity.
