Adam Greenspan, FASLA, is a landscape architect and Design Director at PWP Landscape Architecture in Berkeley, California. With degrees in sociology, installation art and a background in horticulture, Adam’s work aims to bring the wonder of life and the power of nature into people’s everyday experience through design. Adam grew up in the Hollywood Hills, spending his formative years hiking and playing in the wild lands of the Santa Monica Mountains. These experiences shaped his understanding of and interest in landscape and the interactions between people, plants, and animals. The drama of natural landscapes and the potential for shared insight through engagement with art have been key drivers in his practice.
At PWP, Adam has worked to integrate living systems holistically, and has focused on increasing the level of ecological service and the potential for engaged learning in all projects. Working with a wide array of clients, Adam and the team at PWP aim to create intimacy between people and the natural world within dramatic and memorable spaces in a wide variety of settings including Barangaroo Reserve, Jewel Changi Airport, Salesforce Transit Center Park, San Francisco, Glenstone Museum, Potomac, MD, and Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, Singapore.
