Kim Wilkie - Principal

Kim had an intense introduction to landscape. He grew up in the Malaysian jungle and Iraqi desert before being sent to school in southern England. 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 is fascinated by the link between land and culture and between memory and imagination.

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.
