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.
