in 2002, chad taylor and vania hawkins founded intrinsic landscapes, a landscape design + build practice in anchorage, alaska. intrinsic landscapes continually pushes to expand the possibilities of landscape interventions in alaskas northern climate. a desire to enrich the relationship between people and their environment has led to a process based approach to projects which comprise many interrelated layers that are interwoven in order to create well defined spaces and situations. intrinsic landscapes continues to test concepts involving public space, material potential, and urban ecology while maintaining a deeply rooted interest in intimately scaled projects.
understood as a device to promote collaboration, intrinsic landscapes embraces a multidisciplinary approach to projects and works closely with those involved, from project conception to completion. intrinsic landscapes continues to conduct experiments in furniture, sculpture, site installations and film when not busy searching for plants.
