JURY ROSA BARBA 10
Teresa Moller is a well-known Chilean Landscape Architect that has been working in the field for the past 30 years. It has been a self-training journey, working on a variety of projects of different scales. Her work approach is unique, careful observation and awareness of the landscape is key for developing successful social-culture projects. Bringing nature accessible to people so they can connect and value nature around them is essential within her work philosophy. One of the most important aspects before starting a design is to consider what is on site and then what is needed to bring the experience of nature to people. She strongly believes in the power of simplicity. Chile benefits from such contrasting landscapes, wedged between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes mountain to the east; it is a country that offers remarkable natural resources. She considers herself lucky of being able to work with such a diversity of landscapes, from the Atacama Desert to the lakes and glaciers of the south, as they have taught her everything and have been the setting for the majority of the projects in the studio. Every project is a direct and unique result of its environment.
