Vogt Landscape Architects

Nature is the subject matter and medium of the daily work of VOGT. Our work ranges from small-town squares to metropolitan parks. Based on the given brief and the specific context of the site, we develop concepts and establish interdisciplinary dialogues with architects, artists and planners. To us, designing is a collective act that involves many partners and is primarily to be understood as a process – starting from a paradigm by way of a physical working model and, finally, the built landscape intended as a model. The work of VOGT is therefore characterized by the dialogue established between the various disciplines and its close cooperation with artists. During the technical development of the project, concrete solutions mature and insights emerge, and realistic images – significant, present and true – materialise. Our commitment is focused on vegetation. In plants, life becomes visible and brings processes within our range of experience. VOGT Landschaftsarchitekten was founded in Zurich with offices in Berlin, London and Paris. Attached to the firm is, moreover, the VOGT Case Studio, as an interface between the practice and the theoretical and investigative studies. As a platform for exhibitions and debates, the Case Studio also is an instrument for the training and further education of the employees, who play a central role in the corporate culture of VOGT.
