"We envision a world with high functioning, prosperous and resilient communities, that work in synchronicity with nature and natural systems. Integrated, self-sustaining, LAND-connected."
WHY WE PRACTICE
We see the world as a complex system of interconnected parts.
A system composed of the natural and human built.
We believe landscape (LAND) is the starting point.
LAND as the primary surface, the most direct point of contact. It is the place upon which we stand, the connective tissue of our world.
We believe that understanding the potentials of LAND is the formative step in urban development and community building.
We believe LAND holds the power to connect, inspire and heal.
