Featured Projects

Since the 1970’s, Campbell & Campbell has been engaged in works of landscape and environmental architecture, and public art, widely recognized for commitment to a collaborative process of discovery and collective expression of community, culture and encounter and re-conciliation with nature.

This work has been placed by art critic Christopher Knight at the intersection of “poetry and civic purpose.”  Recognized as works of environmental healing and landscape art, these have ranged from public projects noted for design processes involving large numbers of participants, through collaborations with individual sculptors, painters and poets, fellow professionals, and constituencies of cultural, academic and research institutions, faith communities and environmental organizations.
