Peg office of landscape + architecture is an award-winning design and research office based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They engage a variety of projects in terms of content, scale, and medium, ranging from immersive exterior environments to large public spaces.
Through new media and fabrication technologies, Peg's work explores methods of systemic patterning to expand landscape's expressive agency in the shaping of the public realm. Our projects experiment with formal and temporal patterns; in all cases, these methods are used to craft variation in surface appearances, as well as participate in site functions, such as water collection or plant growth. These multivalent, multilayered patterns have implications for more integrative thinking about natural systems in relatively dense urban environments and offer expressive potential for landscape via new combinations of organic and inorganic materials. Experimentation with emerging tools and techniques to visualize and construct landscapes has created a signature aesthetic, establishing Peg as part of the next generation in the field of landscape design.
Established in 2004, Peg has been published internationally and won numerous design awards, including the Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) Prize for their entry into the HB:BX Building Cultural Infrastructure competition, an Honorable Mention for their entry into the Buzzard's Bay Bridge: Park international design competition, three American Institute of Architects Awards, a Contract Magazine award, an I.D. Magazine award, the prestigious Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers sponsored each year by the Architectural League of New York, and most recently a Boston Society of Architects Research Grant. Notable publications featuring Peg include A+T: In Commons II (2006), Architectural Record, "Emerging Practices" (2007), Urban Spaces: Squares & Plazas (Barcelona: Carles Broto, 2007), 1000x Architecture of the Americas (Verlagshaus Braun: 2008), "Remarkable Landscape Architects," in ELA environment & landscape architecture of Korea (August 2008), Fellowships in Architecture (ORO editions: 2009), Advanced Public Space (DAMDI: 2009), and VIA: Dirt (MIT Press: 2011). Most recently Peg was the feature practice in Landscape World: 33 (June, 2010) and Harvard Design Magazine: 36 (forthcoming spring 2013).
