I’m Adrian —

I’m inspired by complex systems and the challenge of distilling them into meaningful, personal experiences. My background in landscape architecture, urban design, and city planningLandscape & urban designThe design of everything between the buildings — parks, plazas, waterfronts, streets — at the scale of a city and at the scale of a footstep. A derelict rail viaduct becomes the High Line, a pier becomes Little Island, a park written off as lost becomes Bryant Park again. Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park carries a walk to the water over a highway and a rail line; San Francisco's Presidio Tunnel Tops does it over a freeway. Off Staten Island, Living Breakwaters is growing oyster reefs into a coastline that breaks storm waves and brings the harbor's ecology back with them. Here in San Antonio, the Pearl turned a brewery into a neighborhood, and Hemisfair is turning a fairground back into one. Ecology, infrastructure and public life resolved as one system — and experienced one space at a time. taught me to view entire cities and neighborhoods as interconnected systems, where every park, courtyard, or boutique contributes to the overall experience. A city functions as a whole, but people engage with it one moment, one space at a time.
