Jacques Simon

Jacques Simon was a French landscape architect known for his large-scale, playful interventions in the landscape. As a friend and mentor to Prof. Galí-Izard, he inspires us to think creatively about space, respond to the elements, create at one-to-one scale, and spend time working in the landscape for our projects.
