BOOK LAUNCH: Meditations of a Landscape Ardhitect by David Irwin

David Irwin is a landscape architect, a founding principal of Isthmus Group and a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects Tuia Pito Ora. Across four decades of practice, he has helped shape some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant and challenging landscape architecture and urban design projects.

His work has involved design leadership across complex multidisciplinary teams and spans urban development, town centres, coastal landscapes, public spaces, and residential planning. Alongside leading a design studio and his own professional practice, he has continued to write, photograph, draw and test ideas through the work itself.

Meditations of a Landscape Architect brings some of that thinking together for the first time, documenting an inquiry that continues to be part of his design practice.
