13th Biennial 2025

Jury Chair Gary is a renowned landscape architect, educator, and writer, with a deep commitment to both the history and future of landscape architecture. Since co-founding his practice with Douglas Reed in 2000, Gary has led numerous projects advancing urban forestry, from small plazas to city-scale plans. His current work includes the transformation of New York’s Lever House and an expansion of Storm King Art Center. As the Peter Louis Hornbeck Professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and current Chair of the Landscape Architecture Department, Gary has taught since 1990. His awards include the ASLA Design Medal, the Rome Prize, and the ASLA Firm of the Year award (2013). In 2016, Design Intelligence named him one of its "25 Most Admired Educators." Gary’s writings, including Visible Invisible (2012) and The Miller Garden (1999), explore how landscape architecture connects cultural tradition with modern urban change. Influenced early on by Ian McHarg’s Design with Nature, Gary brings a lifelong passion for landscape, environmental issues, and design to his work.
