The National Design Awards is a Cooper Hewitt initiative celebrating 25 years this year. The winners in all categories (landscape architecture, architecture, interior design, digital design, etc.) were recently announced, and TERREMOTO won the landscape architecture category.
TERREMOTO creates well-built site-specific landscapes that respond to client needs while challenging historical and contemporary landscape construction methods, materials, and formal conventions. The studio’s design approach is to create “omni-positive gardens and landscapes that are fair, just, and generous in their relationships to labor, materials, and ecology.” The firm’s portfolio includes a diverse range of projects with various scales and typologies; one such project involves gardens that respond to the needs of all.
This year’s jury includes Carson Chan, Gail Bichler, Maurice D. Cox, Maria Nicanor, Miren Arzalluz, and Llisa Demetrios. Not pictured: Michelle Millar Fisher and Fernando Laposse.
The winners will be presented their awards on April 3, 2025, at the National Design Awards 25th Anniversary Celebration at their first-ever House Party at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.
