Landscape architect and historian Todd Longstaffe-Gowan
takes on a range of projects in Britain and abroad, many with a conservation
slant. 'My work reflects my interest in the dramatic and sculptural potential
of landscape, and is imbued with whimsical, historical eclecticism', he
says. 'I like to think that my gardens are intelligent as well as beautiful,
as they are informed by my training as an architect, landscape architect,
geographer and historian.'
Current projects range from the creation of a new garden within the old walls of a fortified house on the island of Hydra in Greece to the preparation of a conservation strategy for the gardens at Kensington Palace. Todd is vice-president of the London Parks and Gardens Trust and gardens advisor to Hampton Court Palace. He is also the author of several books including The Gardens at Hampton Court Palace (Frances Lincoln) and The London Town Garden (Yale University Press).
