RESUMES <br />DARREN SHIRAI / ASLA, PLA <br />Landscape Architect <br />Darren Shirai brings a passion for design and nature to BORDER as a landscape <br />architect and Education Studio Leader, His experience includes a variety of award - <br />winning civic, education, and mixed -use projects throughout Southern California. <br />Growing -up in Honolulu, Hawaii, Darren learned about the uniqueness and <br />global significance of Hawaiian ecosystems and the role of nature in indigenous <br />Hawaiian culture. Nature was an integral part of daily life at the schools he <br />attended throughout childhood with lush campuses that reflected community <br />values and role of nature in creating a high quality of life. <br />Child development experts theorize the origin of healthy environmental ethics in <br />adults begins early in life, the result of sustained positive experiences in nature <br />and the personal value associated with those experiences. Darren is motivated <br />by the belief that the design of outdoor spaces can result in a sustainable positive <br />relationship with local ecologies and a legacy of reconnecting people to the <br />restorative power of the natural world. <br />As a result of his personal experiences and values, education is at the heart <br />of Darren's work, in practice and approach. His engaging design process has <br />created a long list of enthusiastic collaborators, clients, and designers whom he <br />has mentored. <br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />TESORO CARSON ONE / Carson, CA <br />A new corporate campus for administrative offices with environmental education <br />garden, social spaces, softball field, basketball court and perimeter fitness trail. <br />Outdoor learning spaces provide a venue for the company's environmental <br />education outreach programs. <br />LA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION / Los Angeles, CA <br />The COVID-19 pandemic challenged educators to re -imagine and be creative <br />with campus outdoor space to support the safe return to in -person instruction. <br />The Los Angeles County Office of Education published design guidelines to help <br />schools and facilities professionals create equitable everyday outdoor learning <br />experiences on their campuses. <br />BURROUGHS MIDDLE SCHOOL / Los Angeles, CA <br />The project will restore the historic quad, once the focus of the school campus with <br />new sports fields, a three-story cafeteria building, and new locker rooms.
