Architect and artist, Kathryn Gustafson grew
up in Washington State and trained in fashion
and fabrics design. She then studied landscape
architecture in Paris.
Kathryn
Gustafson has more than 25 years of distinguished,
international practice to her credit. Kathryn’s
award-winning landscapes and structures can
be found throughout Europe, North America,
and the Middle East. Her diverse span of
prominent works, ranging from one to 500
acres in size, are known as ground-breaking,
contemporary designs that intuitively incorporate
the sculptural, sensual qualities that are
fundamental to the human experience of landscape.
Two
partner offices, Gustafson Guthrie Nichol
Ltd in Seattle and Gustafson Porter in London,
continue to evolve the design approach of
Kathryn’s work into new contexts of
time, culture, and nature. Kathryn Gustafson
is an honorary fellow of the Royal Institute
of British Architecture and a medalist of
the French Academy of Architecture.
She
is the recipient of The
Chrysler Design Award and of London’s
Jane Drew Prize. She is active in lecturing,
and her work is widely published. (Link to other
