RESUMES <br />DUANE BORDER / ASLA, PLA <br />Principal <br />Duane Border is an award -winning landscape architect and Design Director at <br />BORDER, a boutique studio in Los Angeles that utilizes an interactive design <br />process combining lifestyle, sustainability and art to generate creative design <br />solutions and interactive environments. <br />Using a wide range of design influences, he explores the boundaries of landscape <br />architecture by embracing the cultural, artistic and environmental influences of <br />each site to craft a unique sense of place and developing an engaging experience. <br />Duane's design philosophy is to immerse individuals in the richness and wonder <br />of the natural environment. BORDER is an evolution of Duane's philosophy of <br />providing contemporary, urban landscape solutions that maintain the romance <br />of the garden he used in the founding of his previous firm, Duane Border Design, <br />in 2012. BORDER elevates this philosophy to includes a focus on the restorative <br />properties of landscape design. <br />Under his leadership, BORDER has built a reputation as a collaborative studio <br />with an award -winning tradition. <br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />MARSH PARK / Los Angeles, CA <br />Marsh Park is a 3.9 acre open space adjacent to the LA River and thriving Elysian <br />Valley River bike trail. While at Melendrez (RELM), Duane Border led the design <br />effort with the firm's planning team and the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy <br />to re -imagine a brownfield that disconnected the neighborhood from the LA River. <br />MARILYN HAWLEY HILTON SCHOOLYARD / Santa Monica, CA <br />The redesign altered the perception of a parking lot used as a schoolyard to <br />provide students and their families with a sense of campus pride and identity <br />while maintaining the parish's commitment to sustainable practices. <br />LAIRD PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BUILDING / Los Angeles, CA <br />Duane Border, as lead designer at Melendrez, viewed challenging site and <br />contextual conditions as opportunities for social, publicly accessible spaces rather <br />than constraints that dictate a static, rigid design of impediments and barriers. <br />Defensible space can still be social space. <br />LICENSURE <br />Registered Landscape Architect <br />CA 5810 // UT 5301 <br />EDUCATION <br />Bachelor of Science in Landscape <br />Architecture <br />Purdue University <br />AWARDS <br />ASLA Southern California <br />LAPD PAB <br />Marsh Park <br />Hilton Schoolyard <br />Santa Monica College Quad <br />444 South Flower Street <br />Not -A -Cornfield <br />AFFILIATIONS <br />ASLA Southern California Ex Com <br />2010 - 2020 <br />ASLA Education Advisory Committe <br />2020-2022 <br />E3CDF;R1:)E-=F=3 Santa Ana Zoo Community Hub Building RFP <br />LOC SANTA ANA ZOO San* <br />Architects COMMUNITY HUB BUILIDNG "THE HIVE" RFP <br />March 23, 2023 <br />
