Using a wide range of design influences, he explores the boundaries of landscape architecture by embracing the cultural, artistic and environmental influences of each site to craft a unique sense of place and developing an engaging experience. Duane's design philosophy is to immerse individuals in the richness and wonder of the natural environment. BORDER is an evolution of Duane's philosophy of providing contemporary, urban landscape solutions that maintain the romance of the garden he used in the founding of his previous firm, Duane Border Design, in 2012. BORDER elevates this philosophy to includes a focus on the restorative properties of landscape design. Under his leadership, BORDER has built a reputation as a collaborative studio with an award -winning tradition. RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE MARSH PARK / Los Angeles, CA Marsh Park is a 3.9 acre open space adjacent to the LA River and thriving Elysian Valley River bike trail.

Growing -up in Honolulu, Hawaii, Darren learned about the uniqueness and global significance of Hawaiian ecosystems and the role of nature in indigenous Hawaiian culture. Nature was an integral part of daily life at the schools he attended throughout childhood with lush campuses that reflected community values and role of nature in creating a high quality of life. Child development experts theorize the origin of healthy environmental ethics in adults begins early in life, the result of sustained positive experiences in nature and the personal value associated with those experiences. Darren is motivated by the belief that the design of outdoor spaces can result in a sustainable positive relationship with local ecologies and a legacy of reconnecting people to the restorative power of the natural world. As a result of his personal experiences and values, education is at the heart of Darren's work, in practice and approach. His engaging design process has created a long list of enthusiastic collaborators, clients, and designers whom he has mentored.

While at Melendrez (RELM), Duane Border led the design effort with the firm's planning team and the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy to re -imagine a brownfield that disconnected the neighborhood from the LA River. The project has successfully engaged residents and visitors with the wonder of the natural environment through engaging teaching and recreational opportunities.

Defensible space can still be social space. The landscape design includes a palette of kinetic, water conserving plant materials and irrigation systems. Plazas are punctuated with large expanses of planting areas with integrated seat walls and lighting. The design is built to be flexible enough for large public gatherings while allowing for individual interaction within the natural landscape. At a big -picture level, the site and landscape design for the LAPD Police Administration Building has started a dialog for rethinking urban design approaches in Downtown Los Angeles, and more importantly, the role of landscape design in the discussion.
