Kona Gray, EDSA
Manage episode 305735928 series 2645379
EDSA principal Kona Gray says he stumbled upon landscape architecture, and for the past 25 years, he’s been a crucial voice in creating immersive environments for resorts to senior living facilities and everything in between. One of Gray's initiatives is bringing more people of color into the field, where less than 10 percent of graduating landscape architects are BIPOC. He believes that everyone is meant to have good landscape architecture no matter the cost. It’s a view that fits into his definition of success: being a good, kind person who gives back. “Having a fantastic landscape makes you a better person,” he says. “It’s simple and we overlook it despite walking through it all day. These are things that are integral to human survival.”
