The sonic world was a language that I intuitively understood at a very young age and loved as a world to escape to. I started playing piano when I was five years old and it was something that I did very seriously, practicing many hours a day.

Her work focuses on exploring and reflecting “genius loci”—the spirit of place in multi-scale spaces of urban areas through landscape intervention. To this day, there are many important landscape architecture firms that, despite their profound impact on the urban environment, get less coverage than other architects. To put this right, we’ve put together a collection of some of the best landscape designers on the planet. Explore these key firms and their projects, and if your favorite is left out, make sure to let us know in the comments. Situated in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Crown Sky Garden is a sanctuary for patients, families, doctors and administrators within this 23 story Children’s Hospital. The commitment to this sky garden was built upon a growing body of scientific research which links access to natural light and contemplative spaces to reduced patient recovery time.
In 2019, Mikyoung Kim took home an AN Best of Design Award for the project in the Unbuilt – Landscape category. I think that the world becomes a better place when designers invest a lifetime of practice, like in music, in finding a voice that brings whimsy, resiliency, and transformation to our everyday lives. My advice is the same for everyone — care about something, work on things that are beyond short-term rewards, and work hard for the people who have entrusted you with their future environment. When I was in college at Oberlin Conservatory, I developed tendonitis in my left wrist and arm and had to pause all work that I was doing on the instrument. At that time, I was so grateful to have the opportunity to take other classes in the college and began to study environmental art, sculpture, and art history. I was fascinated by both the land art movement as well as work by Noguchi who worked in more urban environments.

Distinguishing the firm’s work is its decidedly agricultural aesthetic and approach to urban sites. MDP prefers to introduce flexible frameworks and planting strategies that create varied, unpredictable densities and textures, unlike the prescribed manicured spaces that are the rage today. Through this approach, MDP projects play with time and succession (vegetation growth, ephemeral experiences brought on by seasonal changes), thus acquiring vast quantities of anticipation and possibility. Mikyoung Kim, FASLA is an American landscape architect, urban designer, and founding principal of Mikyoung Kim Design. Kim has received the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and the American Society of Landscape Architects National Design Medal.

Tong strives towards designs that are sensitive and responsive to the community, it's culture, history, and ecology. With an interdisciplinary background in engineering and the arts, Tong approaches landscape design as a creative medium that can forge connections between people, spaces, and ideas.
Now we’re doing a project in Portland, Oregon, collaging different kinds of metals into a kind of quilt–copper, steel polished, stainless–creating a gateway with that. We always do artistic renderings of a project in all seasons…Like the Flex Fence in Lincoln (photo below), that’ a project where we really thought about what that landscape would look like throughout the seasons. It’s woven into this native landscape as a tapestry but in the winter it becomes the star, when the entire landscape is white. Henry is the Marketing Director at MYKD and oversees our research wing of our studio.
The 20-year-old firm with a body of work spanning the Americas and Asia is one noted for its culturally sensitive landscapes that address the collective human experience and environmental issues. Driven by a zeal to enliven and heal the public realm through a layered, multigenerational civic experience, the practice exploits its deep understanding of material detailing and technologies. A background in fine arts and music allows MKD to sculpt designs that blur the boundaries between landscape architecture and environmental art.
Included in the lineup is a charcoal-colored wig with dark-blue highlights, with a velvety black zipper boasting rhinestone teeth cutting across it. She wore the original in a strawberry blond hue for her 2001 "In the Air Tonite" music video. "She was not afraid to change. I could bring five different wigs in, and she'd love and want to wear all of them. It was no problem, I didn't get a lot of pushback. It was the best thing ever — I was able to express my creativity."
Included in the exhibit are four recreations of wigs Lil' Kim wore in the late '90s and early 2000s, done by her then-hairstylist, Dionne Alexander. Alexander, now based in Dallas, was part of a team that included stylist Misa Hylton and makeup artist Nzingha. The three worked with Kim and unwittingly created the aesthetic blueprint female rappers still strictly adhere to. Teaching really taught me to love engagement and learn that other people have these ideas that can open a door in your mind.
The range of designed landscapes, from playgrounds to parks and master plans, all feature seasoned understandings of hydrology and lighting plus holographic technology in such projects as the ChonGae Canal Restoration Project. Founded in 1987, this landscape architecture and urban design practice has offices in Rotterdam, New York and Brussels. Key projects include the Governors Island Park, Schouwburgplein public square and four WaveDecks on the Toronto waterfront. Over the course of two decades, Mikyoung Kim Design has crafted an exceptional body of work that redefines the discipline of landscape architecture. From carefully crafted stonework to complex metal fabrication, their unconventional artistic vision is inspired by the unique aspirations of each individual community.
Her diverse background in design and sculpture has shaped her body of work, blurring the boundaries between landscape architecture and environmental art. From children’s playgrounds to city parks and urban master plans, her work reflects a deep commitment to placemaking that captures the public imagination. Headquartered in London, the firm has over 35 years of experience designing gardens, plazas, parks, institutional-plus-corporate landscapes and public installations. The firm situates itself at the intersection of landscape, public art and urbanism, believing that the urban landscape acts as a platform upon which an artful synergy of human and natural environments occurs.
