Ken Smith - Landscape Architect New York
Ken Smith is a
New York City based landscape architect who has worked on a wide variety and scale of projects. His background and training is in landscape architecture and public art. His interests include landscape design of varying scale with a particular emphasis on projects, which explore the symbolic content and expressive power of landscape as an art form. Ken Smith practices landscape design primarily in the realm of public space.
Typical design problems involve making landscape space within the context of existing, reworked or complex urban fabric. This requires a strategic approach in making the strongest conceptual landscapes within the limits and possibilities of the site's infrastructure, context and program. This has led to pushing beyond traditional landscape typologies of plaza, street, and garden to conceptualize landscapes, which are
hybridized from diverse cultural traditions and influences of the contemporary urban landscape.
