Landscape Architecture: Marcel Wilson

After eight years leading large public projects at Hargreaves Associates, Wilson broke off to start his own firm in 2007, at age 36. He works on projects at every scale at his studio in San Francisco, from the smallest (a five-foot-wide public stairway in Malibu that threads down to the beach) to the largest (a proposed urban plan for the neglected waterfront in Hunter’s Point and Candlestick Point, San Francisco). "I find it all fascinating," says Wilson. "There’s no scale limit to urbanism."
