David Kamp

David Kamp (Arch ’78 L/M) is the founding principal of Dirtworks, a landscape architecture firm. He has more than 29 years’ experience in the private and public sector. Dirtworks was recognized in May by the James Rose Center in its “Suburbia Transformed, One Garden at a Time” design competition for its Beach House project. The Beach House was recognized for its simple direct engagement of the existing native condition, the dunes of Long Island. The firm considered important ecological conditions, such as preventing beach sand erosion by re-establishing a dense network of roots of native plants. The juried competition assembled projects that achieve the goal of exploring green technologies within the context of the aesthetics of human landscape experience on small residential sites. It will result in a traveling exhibition and catalogue.
