5 minutes with … Jenny Hyden at NVB Architects

The landscape architect on the importance of designing with a view to the future, why the use of peat is now unforgivable and why she likes to keep her wetsuit close at hand

Why did you choose the built environment for a career?

I am deeply grateful to him, as landscape architecture is not a career I would have found without his example to follow.
