    14 Hugo Bruley, Landscape architecture / Paris
    Jun 21 2023
    A conversation with Landscape architect Hugo Bruley about Paris urban life, constraints and beauty, and the work of HBLA office.Join Eduardo Guerrero, urban designer based in Tucson, as he talks with urban idealists and designers about their work and stories. Listen in as he engages these relevant thinkers in reflections and conversations about the environment and culture. Paris soundscapes by Hugo Bruley. 14 Hugo Bruley, Landscape architecture / Paris Biography:Hugo Bruley is a French landscape architect and founder of HBLA – Hugo Bruley Landscape Architecture, in Paris.For over a decade, he gained experience working in international landscape architecture firms such as Integrated Design in India, Peter Walker & Partners in San Francisco, or Michel Desvigne in Paris. He has worked on a great number of projects, very diverse in scale and nature. Involved at every stage of the project’s development and implementation, he now has a complete approach of the landscape architecture field. Hugo is also Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the Loire Valley Institute of Technology (INSA-ENP) in Blois, France. He previously taught at the University of California, UC Berkeley and the Paris-La Villette Architecture School in Paris. Education:Master of Landscape Architecture · College of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning · University of California, Berkeley · USA · 2011 Master Ingénieur Paysagiste · National School for Higher Studies in Nature and Landscape Architecture · Blois · France · 2008 Office / Workplace:HBLA is a landscape architecture and urban planning office based in Paris.HBLA designers imagine projects in various countries, working alongside public or private entities. Among the office’s core values is the belief that landscape architecture stands as an essential practice to the resolution of some of the most important challenges faced by our societies. It implies a fundamental multidisciplinary approach, which leads us to work with all environmental design practices such as architects, urban designers but also city and traffic planners, artists or even historians. Every project’s challenges design the specific collaboration we aim for. Therefore, the work of the office spans over a wide diversity of projects varying in scale, nature, and context, from large urban and territorial planning studies to the design of public spaces, urban parks, or gardens. Since scales engage with one another, HBLA is focused on maintaining a versatile practice. Reaching far beyond a green trend, the office uses tools of landscape and geography to create strong yet sensitive landscapes through simple but impactful interventions. Each project is an opportunity to (re)connect a site with its identity and larger context. Distinctions & Publications:2020 Oct. · AMC n° 290 · Requalification du Quai de Southampton · Le Havre · France2020 · Equerre d'Argent · Requalification du Quai de Southampton · Le Havre · France · (Hugo Bruley Project Director for MDP)2015 Jan. · AM Architecture du Maroc n°63 · Concours Habitat Durable, Economique et Innovant2015 · AM Architecture du Maroc n°63 · Concours Habitat Durable, Economique et Innovant · first prize2014 · Vision42 Design Competition · New-York · USA · first prize2011 · Everyday Landscape: Designing for informal uses at the edge.
