Peter Walker

'Born in Pasadena and raised in Berkeley, California, Walker studied landscape architecture at University of California, Berkeley, and earned an M.L.A. from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. His landscapes reflect his knowledge of contemporary art, Modernism, and historical, cultural, and ecological considerations.'

'PWP Landscape Architecture, under the leadership of Peter Walker, has developed a tradition of design practice that responds to as well as influences its environment. Our design process combines knowledge of history and tradition with fluency in contemporary landscape debate. We bring our mastery of construction to bear on the latest technologies and innovations. We draw on our extensive experience with project delivery in some of the world’s most politically and physically complex environments to address the challenges of each project. Through constant interchange with clients and architects and the effective management of numerous and diverse consultants, PWP produces landscape architecture of the highest caliber.'

QUZHOU SPORTS CAMPUS:

The sports centre is based around mounds and circular shapes contrasting the very rigid rectangular surrounding buildings and spaces. There are much higher levels of vegetation compared to other sports arena areas for example in Europe.

JEWEL CHANGI AIRPORT:

This incredible design features an indoor waterfall and huge amounts of glass in the structure itself creating a beautiful effect. The tropical rainforest in the glass building creates a magical atmosphere, and the misty pools in the second picture add to this further.

BURNETT PARK

The geometric patterned design creates a regimented yet interesting park design. Different spaces are made for groups of people to enjoy and vegetation is dotted throughout. There is a lot of grass and concrete/paving making it clearly an urban park however the lighting and water features add a sense of magic to the place.
