"A landscape conveys meaning through the relationship of its spaces. Our belief is that beauty lies in creating landscapes that not only restore ecological function, but are also in balance with the site. We are committed to designing landscapes that reflect the historical and philosophical traditions of the community in which the project is located."

-Jeff Bruce, FASLA, LEED, ASIC, GRP

We feel that green design must move from simply conserving natural resources to total restorative design. With emerging technologies, we can begin to achieve "net-zero" design that balances inputs and outputs of water and energy.

In the past decade, we anticipated that green solutions and synthetic design would greatly impact the construction industry. By the end of this decade, we anticipate emerging innovations such as nanotechnology and genetic engineering will similarly impact our built places. We feel that applying these restorative design solutions in the real world today must be balanced with research, assessment, and the expansion of knowledge to peers. Doing so, we and our clients can best contribute to human well-being through living architecture, sports, wellness, and living communities.

We at JBC hope you share our commitment and excitement for this philosophy. For more information on how we apply new thinking to current projects and how we can help you think about the future, please explore our research, projects, and stories of success.
