Join us for our annual series of engaging and inspirational presentations from leading voices in the field of landscape architecture. Internationally renowned designers present their recent work articulating landscape as a medium of design for the social, cultural, and ecological life of the city.

Michel Desvigne is a landscape architect who is internationally recognized for his rigorous and contemporary designs and for the originality and relevance of his research work. His projects are regularly published in the international press. He works with leading architects including Herzog and de Meuron, Foster+Partners, Jean Nouvel, Rem Koolhaas, Christian de Portzamparc, I.M. Pei, Renzo Piano, and Richard Rogers. Among Desvigne’s most important urban public spaces in the US are Sammons Park in Dallas and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Desvigne was awarded the French national Urbanism Grand Prize in 2011.
