Austin Bamford

Designer

Austin’s understanding of landscape is rooted in an enduringly interdisciplinary and human ecological worldview. This understanding stems from an education in fine art, design, economics and landscape construction. He works as an alchemist—revealing, testing and forging connections between landscape phenomena and human experience. Austin brings to practice a drive to craft the shared exploration of poignant and democratic places through theory, research and design.
