Hana Georg

Drawn to design for its ability to be simultaneously critical and imaginative, Hana strives to mediate social, spatial, and ecological disparity through landscape architecture. Their approach to spatial design is both playful and rigorous inviting experiences of connection and delight within projects that overall seek to foster societal and planetary change. With a penchant for plant-based approaches to problem-solving, Hana is skilled at restoring ecological function within large urban parks and plazas. They lead highly complex projects having worked on Brooklyn Bridge Park and Waterloo Greenway during their tenure at Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, learning how hydrology and geotechnics inform design vernacular and construction methodology. Hana’s passion around the ethics of landscape architecture and design as a transformative social practice earned them recognition as both an Olmsted and ASLA NY Designing in the Public Realm Scholar. At RELM, they serve as a project manager, currently leading the UC’s San Diego Medical Research Campus, a 5 billion-dollar project with Wexford Lab, and contributing to District NOHO, LA County’s largest TOD project.
