The memoirs were collectively called "The Copenhagen Trilogy".
The English translation of the memoirs received warm critical praise.

In 1992, Bargmann founded D.I.R.T (Dump It Right There), a landscape design studio in Charlottesville, Virginia.
She turned what was commonly seen as trash into sculptures and art pieces.
One of the projects D.I.R.T focused on was reutilizing former landfill sites into public spaces, such as parks and playgrounds.
She also collaborated with various artists, historians, hydrologist, and members of the local community to reconstruct Vintondale, Pennsylvania's acid mine drainage into Vintondale Reclamation Park.
Bargmann has stated that she likes to incorporate a site's past into its future because "there’s something dishonest and superficial about giving a site’s (fabricated) physical appearance precedence over its function and history."
During this time, Bargmann accepted a position University of Virginia School of Architecture while still continuing to work with D.I.R.T.
In 1998, she was a contributing editor to the "Landscape Journal" from the University of Wisconsin Press.
In 2000, Bargmann and architect William McDonoug collaborated to repurpose a 1,200-acre Ford Motor Corporation plant in Dearborn, Michigan.
As the site was heavily polluted, she received $2 billion to make it ecological friendly.
The following year, she received a National Design Awards for her environmental design projects.
She later received a fellowship at the Parsons School of Design, School of Constructed Environments.
In 2007, she collaborated with Manu Sobti to co-teach at Urban Edge Studio to repurpose Milwaukee’s decaying landscape.
As a result of her efforts, she was the recipient of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee School of Architecture & Urban Planning "Urban Edge award".
A few years later, Bargmann and D.I.R.T were hired to renovate Urban Outfitters headquarters from an abandoned Navy Yard.
She constructed the exterior landscaping around the building to include pathways, laws, and dog parks.
As part of the land included a working Navy base, she uncovered and designed ship crainways, ecological floating wetlands, and reused debris as pavers to turn the site into an ecological friendly landscape.
In 2019, she was named a juror for the DIA Plaza Design Competition hosted by the Detroit Institute of Arts and Midtown Detroit, Inc.

Perahu payang
Perahu payang or simply payang is a traditional Malay open fishing boat.
They are usually found in Terengganu, and to a lesser extent, Kelantan, Pahang, and Johor coasts.
A few examples normally come down to Singapore to operate during the period of the north-east monsoon in the South China Sea.
The name perahu payang comes from "payang" (a type of seine) used by local fishermen.
Perahu is Malay word for boat and/or ship.
Thus the name can be translated as "a boat that use "payang"".
Perahu payang has a crew of 15-20 men when fishing.
It carries a net which the name derives, the "pukat payang".
The perahu payang ranges in length from about 33-45 feet (10-13.7 m) with a beam of 6 to more than 7 feet (1.8-2.1 m).
The bow and stern are built up fantastically giving a most striking appearance.
These ends, the keel and bottom planks are built of chengai wood, the top planks usually being serayah wood.
The upper strakes of Malay boats, "timbau", are usually made of light woods as "serayah" or "medang" to support the crew and nets should the boat be swamped.
If built of chengai wood only the boat would sink.
It has 2 spar rest, 1 forward and 1 aft.
It carried two rectangular sails on two masts.
The sail is taller than its wide.
The mainmast decidedly bent over at the top to give a certain springiness when meeting the wind.
There is a gaff and a boom in the sail.
Payangs are provided with an anchor, also 13 or 14 oars, 4 or 5 "pengayoh" (paddle), and "kemudi" "sepak" (large oar which is used for steering) which is held over the lee quarter.
They carry a small boat called "sampan payang", about 6 feet (1.8 m) long by 2 feet (61 cm) beam.
Near the bow is a painted carved figurehead usually like the head of a dragon.
The bow is also decorated by a necklace made from the pinang tree called "mayang pinang".
They also carry one or two long poles (quant/punting poles) are carried for use in shallow water, a small landing net and a wire hoop strung with cockle shells ("kulit krang") on the end of a stick.
