Her work includes the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain (London), the recently completed Parque Central in Valencia, the Site Tour Eiffel in Paris, the Old Market Square in Nottingham, UK, the Cultuurpark Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam and the landscape design of the National Museum of African American History of Washington DC, among others. Kathryn is a founding partner of Gustafson Porter + Bowman, based in London and Gustafson Guthrie Nichol in Seattle US.

Kathryn Guftason shares her vision of sustainable landscape architecture and design and its transformative power with Martha Thorne, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design and Executive Director of the Pritzker Prize of Architecture.
