Fascinated with our relationship with landscape

About

 

Paul currently oversees the conceptual design and implementation of several innovative, complex and thought-provoking projects as Principal at Hood Design Studio. These include the highly anticipated International African American Museum in Charleston, SC; the renovation of the historic Oakland Museum of California; and Nvidia’s new tech campus in Silicon Valley.

Paul has an adept ability to work across scales and typologies by employing a layered approach that seeks a hybridized outcome for the landscape. This approach allows for existing neighborhoods and communities to be the main driver in the design of neighborhood master plans while allowing new and latent ecologies and infrastructures to emerge. These projects include the Rosa Parks Neighborhood Master Plan in Detroit, Michigan; Woodland Park Master Plan in East Palo Alto, California; the historic Detroit State Fairgrounds landscape framework; and, Green Valley Town Square in Arlington, Virginia.
