🌿 World Landscape Architecture Month starts now 🌍
To celebrate, we’re sharing 30 images in 30 days—each capturing the impact of landscape architecture across the country.
We begin with this photo:
Two sisters, a little brother, and an infant walking through a new park called Somos Oasis—designed by Kounkuey Design Initiative.
Shot on assignment for Landscape Architecture Magazine (June 2024 issue), this park in the Eastern Coachella Valley represents more than just design. It’s a place built with the community, for healing, gathering, and joy.
As a landscape architect and photographer, I always ask permission before photographing people in public spaces. In this case, the family was eager to share how much this park means to them. Moments like this remind me:
✨ Design is about people.
✨ Photography helps us feel that.
Follow along this month as we share one story per day—of spaces that inspire, and the lives they touch.
