Hank White is the principal of HM White Site Architecture and Landscape Urbanism, a firm "founded on the principle that the designed landscape is among the most powerful forms of cultural expression." One of his recent projects is a three-acre design for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. HMWhite introduced interventions to retain stormwater on-site and filter it to underground cisterns for later use. Mimicking a natural riparian ecosystem, the plan added over 90 new plant species to the garden and serves as an invaluable teaching tool for visitors.
