Alexandra Steed, Founder & Director of Alexandra Steed Urban, feels that people's broken relationship with nature has got us into the environmental predicament that we find ourselves in. But rather than wait for others to do something about it, Alexandra is calling upon all of us - especially those in the Landscape Architecture industry - to act now. During her chat with us, she talks about multiple actions - as described in her latest book, Portrait to Landscape: A Landscape Strategy to Reframe our Future, that we can take as professionals and citizens to start making a change.
With a mission to Live In Painted Cities, Lee Bofkin, CEO and co-founder of Global Street Art joins us to discuss the importance of street art and how our urban landscape can benefit from joyful murals representing and bringing together communities. We discuss the evolution in attitudes towards street art over the last 10 years, how street art brings spaces to life, democratises art and the museum of inspiration in the basement of GSA HQ.
Our latest installment of #Youviewfromhere features Maria Guiterrez, a landscape architect at Gillespies.

What happens when you remove cars from one of the busiest roads and intersections in London, and prioritise people and plants? The new Strand Aldwych.

Meet the Humanitarian Landscape Collective, a network of professionals who operate to bridge the gap between humanitarian work and landscape architecture, highlighting the crucial role landscape architecture can play in helping the most vulnerable. The month, we’re joined by their founders Rhys Jones (Landscape Architect at Alexandra Steed URBAN) and Joanna Ferro (Landscape Architect at Arup). They share their experiences setting up and growing this passion project (now with 200+ members), their goals and how they bring like-minded people together in thought leadership and research to drive change.

In this episode we're joined by Clay Baylor, Projects Director at Publica. He shares his journey working within landscape architecture and urban design: the differences in infrastructure between the UK and the US, how both view the profession and the impact of allelopathy and changing plant palettes.
In our first episode of 2023 - Fiona Cummings, Environment and Sustainability Officer at Marlborough Highways, she joins Catherine in The Green Room to chat all things sustainability and what it means for highways design and planning. Fiona shares a bit about her journey and experiences in the industry, how she built Marlborough's carbon calculator and her thoughts on some of the biggest drivers in reducing carbon across the industry.
In our final episode of 2022, Catherine is joined by Graham Edward (Edward Architecture) and Tim Reid (Urban Wilderness), to discuss this awesome community-led project in Leeds - to transform the iconic Holbeck Viaduct into a multi-functional green space for locals to enjoy. The pair share their journey from concept to fruition, some challenges along the way and their overall vision for what Holbeck Viaduct can be for the community.

For this month’s episode, we’re joined by Graham Duxbury, CEO of Groundwork. A federation of awesome charities across the UK that focus on improving the environment and tackling poverty. They champion green initiatives by empowering local communities, equipping them with the right tools and mobilising them to drive change in their neighbourhoods.
