“Sites are dynamic, and each has its own set of unique challenges that need to be met, so every day is engaging, and I feel like I'm being useful and making a positive impact,” says Steven Fusco, senior landscape architect.

His experience includes both passive and active park landscape design, playground design, woodland, shoreline, and wetland restoration, green infra­struc­ture, downtown revi­tal­iza­tion master planning, streetscape improvement projects, urban park design, bicycle route master planning and campus master planning.

“My proudest project is the Cramer Hill Waterfront Park at the former Harrison Ave Landfill. As a landscape architect and an advocate for envi­ron­men­tal justice, being handed a 62-acre cont­a­m­i­nated site in an underserved community and given the freedom to develop it into a landmark urban park is a once-in-a-career opportunity. We pushed an ambitious design program and I think we met the challenge,” he says.

“Landscape archi­tec­ture is centered on the rela­tion­ship between people and their environment, which can have a profound impact on an individual or a community,” Steven says.
