Stephen is an influential award-winning Designer, Landscape Architect and Urbanist.
Design Director at ASPECT Studios he is recognized for his bold city shaping projects that look to challenge and disrupt urban mundanity, carry impact and meaning, while endeavouring to address the complex social, environmental and technical challenges faced in some of world’s most densely urbanized cities.
While all designs are derived from the same hand, each strives to be unique to themselves, their place, and time. With his perception of humanistic influences such as people, place and culture, and contextual influences of environment, climate, and land each design strives to deliver an authentic, unique, and meaningful response that is of its time, and place.
His portfolio of works spans across continents, cultures and climates and include numerous award winning and internationally published projects of recognition. Stephen is regularly invited to judging panels, interviews and to speak and share his thinking of future cities, “people, nature and density” at design industry conferences and forums.
We talk to Stephen Buckle about drawing as a thinking tool, landscape as urban system rather than surface, negotiating development pressures, rejecting fixed styles in favour of place response, and why landscape architects must take a stronger leadership role in shaping dense cities.
