SCAPE designs landscapes that repair ecologies, reveal hidden potential, and reimagine urban life. Headquartered in New York with offices in New Orleans and San Francisco, the practice creates living infrastructure—where parks, waterfronts, and cityscapes work as dynamic ecological systems. Their approach blends rigorous science with bold design, transforming degraded sites into thriving public spaces that withstand storms, nurture biodiversity, and connect communities. With a team of 80+ landscape architects, planners, and ecologists, SCAPE operates at every scale: from soil-level remediation to regional climate adaptation plans. Their collaborative process—partnering with communities, agencies, and scientists—produces landscapes that perform ecologically while inspiring daily life. Recognition like the Obel Award and MacArthur Genius grant (a first for landscape architecture) speaks to their field-defining work, but the true measure lies in the resilience of the places they shape and the people who use them.
