Over nearly six decades of practice, Robert Royston (1918-2008)
shaped the postwar Bay Area landscape with visionary designs for
public spaces. Early in his career, Royston conceived of the
"landscape matrix," a system of interconnected parks, plazas, and
parkways that he hoped could bring order and amenity to rapidly
developing suburbs. The idea would inform his work on more than two
thousand projects as diverse as school grounds, new towns, transit
corridors, and housing tracts. As an apprentice of Thomas Church,
Royston gained experience with residential gardens that influenced
his early designs for public parks. At a time when neighborhood
parks were typically limited to playing fields and stock playground
equipment, Royston created imaginative facilities for the American
family, offering activities for people of all ages. Royston,
Hanamoto & Mayes, founded in 1958, grew to become one of the
nation's most influential corporate firms. With his collaborative
approach, Royston designed landscapes that set a high standard of
inclusivity and environmental awareness. In addition to the many
beloved places he created, his perceptive humanism, which passed
down to his students, is Royston's enduring legacy.
