Lie of the land: The recently established Landscape Agency has a new way of working to allow it to offer appropriate experts for each project
Article Abstract:
The Landscape Agency was set up by Patrick James with two landscape architects, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and unequalled range of skills and services in landscape design and management. The founders hope that they can break the vicious circle for landscape architecture in the UK, where most of what is produced is mediocre. They see this as a cultural problem where the big architects automatically seek landscape architects from aborad when they want to produce something imaginative.
