FWD

FWD is a landscape architecture + urban design cooperative.

Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin

FWD creates landscapes that connect people to nature and each other.

Through strategic, collaborative, and forward-thinking processes, we design award-winning projects that benefit communities and the environment.

FWD brings measurable social, environmental, and economic value to design projects through thoughtful inquiry, deep listening, and multi-disciplinary, multi-scalar problem-solving.
FWD works with organizations and design partners to advance alternative models of development, such as land trusts and cooperative housing, to maximize community benefit for all.
FWD advances research and design to improve the environment and lives of those most impacted by climate change on issues of soil health, urban heat island, stormwater management, biodiversity, and shade equity.
