KIM WILKIE

Kim is a landscape architect whose designs are inspired by both memory and imagination. Having studied history at Oxford and environmental design at the University of California, Berkeley, Kim set up his landscape studio in London in 1989. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2002.
Kim continues to teach sporadically at Berkeley; writes optimistically about land and place; and meddles in various national committees on landscape and environmental policy in the UK. Recent work includes the V&A Garden, the Thames Landscape Strategy and Floodscape projects and land sculptures at Heveningham Hall and Boughton Park.
