About
Project Studio was founded by Ed Wall in 2007 as a platform for collaboration between professional practice and academia. Interdisciplinary projects range from regional plans to curated exhibitions, working with organisations including the Landscape Institute, Architecture Foundation, Royal Academy, and Landscape Urbanism Biennale. Projects such as Lubricity, Park Works, Roaming Forest, and the Valley Project have been published in The Guardian, Architects’ Journal, Architectural Design (AD), Building Design, Abitare, and Arch Daily. They have also been exhibited at the Van Alen Institute, Royal Academy, Building Centre, Garden Museum, Des Moines Art Center, Landscape Urbanism Bienniale, Melbourne Design Week, and the Stephen Lawrence Gallery.
Ed Wall is a landscape architect and urbanist who explores spatial practices and ecological processes through concerns for social justice. His published work includes Architecture for Warfare (2025), Contesting Public Spaces (2022), and ‘The Landscapists’, an edited special issue of Architectural Design (2020). He also co-edited Landscape and Agency (2017), Landscape Citizenships (2019), and Unsettled Urban Space (2023), and Collective Landscape Futures (2025).
He is a Professor of Cities and Landscapes at the University of Greenwich where he leads the Spatial and Digital Ecologies research centre. He is also a Visiting Professor at Politecnico di Milano and was recently Visiting Professor in Landscape Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and City of Vienna Visiting Professor for urban culture, public space and the future–urban equity and the global agenda at TU Wien. He holds a PhD from the Cities Programme of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
“Wall forgoes the tired architectural publication approach to landscape design as a series of formal projects or sites that are designed or “reimagined.” Instead, landscapes are framed as conflicted, supportive, and dynamic—full of tensions and contradictions.” Review of The Landscapists in Landscape Architecture Magazine, April 2020
Ed directed Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Greenwich for 10-years, developing a critical and interdisciplinary design focus. During this time, he co-developed unique pedagogies resulting in Greenwich winning the International Landscape Architecture Schools Prize (2025). He also co-founded Testing-Ground: Journal of Landscapes, Cities and Territories, established the Un/der/represented Summer School to widen participation for teenagers in designing their own city, and initiated the Field Office, a research and knowledge exchange collaboration to support new forms of situated practices.
Ed is on the Board of Experts for the European Prize for Public Space and was a Design Council Specialist Expert (2021-2024). He leads the Spatial and Digital Ecologies research group where his work has been supported by the Graham Foundation and Landscape Research Group.
