Her teaching and research focus on an expanded consideration of plant life. The work derives from a conviction that plants can reestablish a central position in a landscape architectural discourse. In her role as Area Head of Master in Design Studies in Risk and Resilience, her research explores the gap between natural and social sciences found in the biological complexity of global greening projects. The research examines the methods and means of planting through spatial and theoretical frameworks. Other research projects include the study of root systems in coastal defense strategies, state-scale ecological transformation in Rhode Island, and sea-level adaptation on barrier islands in Florida. Elkin consults and maintains a design practice that is firmly rooted in fieldwork and material agency. Teaching includes core studio sequence in landscape, research seminars, ecology and planting design. She was previously the Daniel Urban Kiley Fellow at GSD in 2012-13 and also served as faculty editor for Platform 6 (Actar). Elkin was recently awarded the 2018 American Academy Rome Prize in landscape architecture.visualizza meno
