Julie Bargmann (born 1958 in Bergen County) is an American landscape architect and educator. Bargmann is Professor Emerita of Landscape Architecture at the University of Virginia School of Architecture, founding principal of D.I.R.T. (Dump It Right There) Studio, a landscape architecture firm, and inaugural recipient of the Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize, an initiative of Washington, D.C.-based The Cultural Landscape Foundation.

Career

Bargmann was born at Holy Name hospital, in Teaneck, New Jersey, to James F. Bargmann, a sales executive for Owens-Illinois (now O-I Glass), a producer of glass and plastic containers; and Alice Jane Badenhope, a homemaker and 1947 graduate of the University of Toledo. Bargmann was the sixth of eight children. [1] She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Carnegie Mellon University and a Master in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 1987, where she was a classmate of Anita Berrizbeitia.[2]

After graduating from Harvard, Bargmann worked alongside Michael Van Valkenburgh, while also teaching at the University of Minnesota. In 1992, Bargmann founded D.I.R.T (Dump It Right There), a landscape design studio based in Charlottesville, Virginia, with the mission to turn “ugly duckling” sites—meaning, polluted industrial land—into productive, habitable landscapes with a distinctive aesthetic.[3] Her work included repurposing former landfill sites into public spaces such as parks and playgrounds.[4] Shortly thereafter, Bargmann accepted a position at the University of Virginia School of Architecture, while continuing to run D.I.R.T. Studio[1]

In 1998, Bargmann became a contributing editor to the Landscape Journal, published by the University of Wisconsin Press.[5]

In 2021, Bargmann delivered the annual Daniel Urban Kiley Lecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.[6]

Projects

A view of Bargmann's collaborative Vintondale Reclamation Park project.

Bargmann collaborated with Stacy Levy, as well as various artists, historians, and local community members in Vitondale, Pennsylvania, to turn a stream and land polluted by acid mine drainage into Vintondale Reclamation Park.[7]

In 2000, Bargmann and architect William McDonough collaborated on a landscape plan using phytoremediation and other means to address the heavily polluted Ford Motor Corporation plant in Dearborn, Michigan, a $2 billion project.[8]

A decade later, Urban Outfitters (URBN) president and CEO Richard Hayne, hired Bargmann to create a campus to physically unify the company’s various brands in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), which recognized the project with a prestigious Honor Award in 2014, “D.I.R.T. Studio artfully integrated recycled concrete, bricks, and rusted metal found onsite…creating a rich, layered environment that demonstrates sustainable values.” The ASLA lauded Bargmann for successfully lobbying to make the landscape accessible to the public. “On the civic axis to the Delaware River, URBN’s private venture becomes an extension of the public realm of Philadelphia and a well-dressed poster child for industrial redevelopment,” the ASLA noted.[9] As part of the land, it included a working United States Navy base.[10]

Bargmann’s recent and ongoing work (as of this time in August 2023) includes innovative projects with architect Marlon Blackwell in Fort Worth, Texas, and with developer Philip Kafka’s firm Prince Concepts in Detroit. There, she has designed the landscape of the Core City urban neighborhood, including a parking lot with the emphasis on “park.”
