Landscape Designer

Ricardo Terra Santos

Ricardo joined Landworks in March 2019. Raised in southern Portugal, he started his career as a forest officer, later moving to research and policy advising. After a long interest in the discipline, he decided to switch to Landscape Architecture while living in Toronto.

Ricardo is interested in the patterns of occupation of the land by humans in urban and, especially, peri-urban, and rural contexts. He is particularly interested in how materials, detailing, and perception of space at a small scale can potentiate positive social, economic, and ecological dynamics at a larger scale.

Ricardo holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Toronto, Canada, and an Engineer’s Degree in Forestry from the Higher Institute of Agronomy in Lisbon, Portugal.
