Shane Coen: “There are many lessons to learn from the past few years, and one of the biggest is that everybody wants (and deserves) access to nature. This is a dream time for landscape architecture. We have been invited to create huge green initiatives across cities where we’re addressing environmental issues and cultural issues, and really just giving people access to open space systems and opportunities to connect with nature.”

Robin Ganser: “Cities are truly fundamental elements of civilization and culture, and landscape architecture is a profound way that we can impact cities for the better. The work we are pursuing now is focused on advancing the sustainability, functionality, and economic viability of cities. We acknowledge the full spectrum from city-scale planning and design down to the detailing and craft of a particular site element and make sure that there’s consistency between the two.”

McKenzie Wilhelm: “We approach landscape architecture with the goal of seeing the world and all of its beauty—and finding ways to make that even more visible to itself. We do the same thing for our clients and our stakeholders by trying to understand who they are on the deepest level that we can. This all results in a really deep understanding of context, community, and place, from which we find powerful ways to celebrate cultural diversity on projects ranging in scale from a few city blocks to entire open space systems of major cities.”

Thomas Doyle: “We view landscape architecture as a synergy of design excellence and technical excellence, because we know that our ideas are only as good as they manifest in the world. For us, technical excellence starts at the beginning and continues through the lifespan of the project. Our dedicated, passionate teams have a high focus on the technical delivery of every project—anticipating the challenges of building, operating, and maintaining a project. Every project must be durable, sustainable, and high-performing. Our clients, stakeholders, and the earth itself deserve nothing less.”
