Many processes pass through the grade of the ground, relating to water, energy, ecology and vegetation, with trees bridging above- and below grade. Organic matter is created in the ground, carbon is captured and stored there, and it is the habitat of various species.

We met with Mr. van Gessel at the 8th International Biennial of Landscape Architecture in Barcelona, in September 2014, where he was the president of the Jury for the Rosa Barba Prize. His work as a landscape architect is based on a very subtle and simple, yet determined, intervention in landscape. As he puts it: “With minimum effort for a maximum effect.”]]> https://landezine.com/interview-michael-van-gessel/feed/ 0
