David Buck Landscape Architects is based in London and offers an innovative and contemporary approach to a wide range of landscape projects. Each project is approached from a fresh perspective, and we offer a unique combination of proven design skills and creative innovation that celebrates each project’s unique context, drawing out the distinct history of the site to develop a new and individual vision for the project.
David is programme leader for the MA Landscape Architecture programme at the University of East London and has been an invited critic at The Bartlett School of Architecture and Chiba University in Japan. He was a visiting Professor at Bond University School of Architecture in 2012 and is an International Conference Committee member of the Association of Architectural Educators. He is a board member of the Landscape Foundation and was a member of the Southwark Design Review Panel for four years.
David has a Master's Degree in Landscape Design and was awarded a Japanese Education Ministry Scholarship to study Urban Design at Kobe University Department of Architecture. He is currently doing his PhD at UCL on the notation of time in landscape. He worked with Makoto Noborisaka on projects for Nikken Sekkei in Japan, described by Peter Walker as ‘a synchronised art using trees, metal, stone, plants and water that show a proactive potential for the future of landscape design’.
