Winner of the Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture in 2000, David Meyer has distinguished himself through his rigorous approach to design and execution. To Meyer, the most evocative, powerful spaces are characterized by purity, simplicity and restraint. They have visual order and make sense to the eye and the intellect. He credits his Iowa origins for this appreciation of strong, simple, sensual designs that employ nature's palette. He has brought his signature integrity and rigor to projects ranging from a temporary installation at the American Academy in Rome to a 9,000-acre national park in China.
