Overview

Lead the integration of AI and computational design across projects.

Responsibilities

• We are seeking an experienced Landscape AI & Computational Design Specialist to lead the integration of artificial intelligence, data analytics and computational design across landscape architecture, master planning and public realm projects.
• This role will drive innovation by applying AI, parametric design, GIS and automation tools to improve design quality, delivery efficiency and data-driven decision-making throughout project lifecycles.
• The successful candidate will work closely with landscape architects, urban designers, planners, BIM specialists and digital delivery teams to develop scalable workflows, practical tools and innovative design solutions that can be adopted across the studio.
• Develop and implement AI solutions tailored to landscape architecture, master planning and public realm design.
• Create computational design workflows using tools such as Grasshopper, Rhino, Dynamo, Python and generative design platforms.
• Support data-driven design decisions through GIS, spatial analytics, environmental modelling and predictive analysis.
• Develop AI-assisted tools for planting design, public realm planning, walkability studies, mobility analysis and environmental performance assessments.
• Automate repetitive design, documentation, QA/QC and reporting tasks to improve consistency and delivery efficiency.
• Lead the development of landscape-specific AI agents, scripts and digital workflows that support project teams.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Landscape, Urban Design, Master Planning, BIM and Digital Engineering.
• Investigate emerging technologies and assess opportunities for practical implementation across the studio.
• Establish best-practice guidance, standards and training materials for computational design and AI adoption.
• Support bids, competitions and innovation initiatives through advanced visualization, data analytics and scenario modelling.
