DANIEL WINTERBOTTOM

Associate Professor Daniel Winterbottom's interests focus on urban and community landscape design, vernacular landscapes, therapeutic gardens, sustainable design and the craft and detailing of built forms. Through his design teaching and practice Daniel explores the social, ecological and psychological implications of open space design and how environments can support those dealing with health related stresses. In addition, he is interested in how landscapes become or are used as places of cultural expression, how they offer opportunities to enrich ecological awareness and provide a framework in which social engagement can take place. Daniel teaches both undergraduate and graduate studios with an emphasis on community design and cultural identification. He serves as an adviser on both architecture and landscape architecture theses and has developed a nationally recognized design/build program in the department. His research focuses on the cultural influences inherent in landscape design, innovations in landscape technologies and in design critique.

Daniel received his Master's in Landscape Architecture from Harvard University. He holds a BFA from Tuft's University and a Diploma of Fine Art from the School of the Fine Arts, Boston. Previous to joining the faculty at the University of Washington, Daniel was in professional practice for eight years with SVR Design Company and the Portico Group, both in Seattle. Daniel is a registered landscape architect and currently the principle of Winterbottom Design, a Seattle based Landscape Architecture and Site Planning firm.
