PHIL JACKSON | DIRECTOR

BRISBANE

“My passion is in designing spaces that make us aware of the natural environment we live in. I believe this awareness, is the key to more people respecting it. If we can leave this legacy, by creating spaces like this in schools and the community at large, where sustainability and connections to the environment are evident in both architecture and landscapes, we will pass on this awareness and passion, not only to the next generation but to many generations to come.”
