The internationally renowned landscape architect David Kamp, FASLA,
has written a personal narrative of his innovative and influential
landscape design philosophy and practice in Nature, Design, and
Health. He traces the first stirrings of his interest in nature and
design to his childhood in rural North Carolina. Kamp maintained
his passion for landscape through his architectural studies at the
University of Virginia, and these in turn helped prepare him for
his first design project, the landscape for Australia's grand new
Parliament House complex in Canberra (1980-1988).In the mid-1990s,
at a pivotal time in his personal life, Kamp volunteered to design
one of the first gardens created specifically for individuals with
HIV/AIDS, the Joel Schnaper Memorial Garden at the Terence Cardinal
Cooke Health Care Center in East Harlem. The experience proved
life-altering, and Kamp resolved to dedicate his practice to
exploring the intimate web of relationships connecting design,
nature, and modern healthcare.Throughout his career, Kamp has
sought to put people of all ages in touch with nature, regardless
of their capabilities--from children with autism spectrum disorder
to elders with cognitive and physical challenges. He has also
explored these ideas in the larger realm, where his plans have
revitalized schools, parks, and urban waterfronts. By putting
personal health on a continuum with environmental health, Kamp
demonstrates that design partnering with nature can lead to more
vibrant, resilient, and equitable communities.
