Daniel Clearwater

With a Master's in Landscape Architecture and a Bachelor's in Architecture, my passion lies in designing public spaces that enhance biodiversity in both urban and non-urban areas. I am dedicated to creating environments that connect people spatially and culturally, fostering a sense of community and encouraging people to engage and linger. Experienced in collaborative projects across diverse settings and countries, I thrive both independently and in teamwork. Eager to further develop and continuously learn from new challenges and colleagues. During my bachelor I balanced between rigorous courses and joining several design workshops to expand my experience. The workshops included ones organized by UNstudio, LAVA Architects and an AA visiting school workshop. This allowed me to further develop my 2D and 3D digital skills, and design development. During my internship in Spain, I worked closely with my supervisors and colleagues on building construction on site where I acquired knowledge on the different construction phases and working with facade details. In Menorca, I worked briefly with my team on a landscape structure where we rehabilitated a former quarry into a living space. During that project I developed curiosity for building in earth and landscape. Living in several Spanish cities also evoked my interest in urban living and outdoor spaces. From there, I joined the master's program in landscape architecture in Oslo. My academic projects were focused on biodiversity in urban and non-urban areas, preserving landscape entities and waterscapes  within urban environments and better connect the local residents to their geographical surroundings. I look forward opportunities where I can pursue my passion in improving urban living and enhancing and adapt the local biome to mitigate climate change challenges.
