David Godshall
David Godshall is a landscape architect, horticultural theorist and the co-founder and principal of TERREMOTO, a 25-person California-based landscape architecture office. David believes that through investigation of the nature of our relationships to the tools with which we create (land, labor, plants and materials), we can evolve and improve our modes and methods of landscape making. By asking “Why, How and For Whom is the Garden?” we find ourselves drifting towards aesthetically and ecologically fertile new territory. David received a Master’s degree Cum Laude from UC Berkeley after receiving a BA Cum Laude from UC Santa Barbara and founded TERREMOTO in 2012.
