Practice:
Gustafson Porter is an International Landscape Design practice based in
London. Gustafson Porter operates across the diverse disciplines of landscape,
architecture, engineering and design. The work of the practice expresses
the tension and balance between opposing forces in the built and the natural
world which is striking and contemporary. Gustafson Porter is inspired
by the complexity of the human condition and the desire for stability
as well as change in the modern world. The approach is simultaneously
rational and emotional, disciplined but loose, structured yet ever changing.
Kathryn Gustafson established her landscape architecture practice in Paris
in 1980 working as a sole practitioner and in collaboration with architects,
artists and engineers. Her completed work in France encompasses a wide
range of landscape projects from parks such as Fragments of Garden History
(Les Jardins de l'Imaginaires) in Terrasson, landscapes associated with
major buildings including the headquarters for Shell, Esso and L'Oréal
near Paris and urban squares including The Square of Human Rights in Evry
and Square Rachmaninov in Paris.
Gustafson Porter Ltd was founded by Kathryn Gustafson and Neil Porter
in 1997, with Mary Bowman joining the partnership in 2002. Gustafson Porter
has projects in the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Completed projects
range from the 1km long Westergasfabriek Culture Park in Amsterdam to
the interior landscape of the Great Glass House at the National Botanic
Garden of Wales. Gustafson Porter is currently working on landscapes for
the cities of Singapore, Jeddah, Beirut and Liverpool, all with varying
needs and contexts that require innovative and unique solutions.
In 2000 Kathryn Gustafson, with partners Jennifer Guthrie, and Shannon
Nichol, established the practice Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Ltd in Seattle,
with current projects predominantly located within the US and Asia.
Together, the US and UK offices are engaged in projects across Europe,
Asia, the Middle East and the United States, winning international acclaim
for a growing portfolio of dynamic and exciting work.
