TOM GARDNER
ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN

 Hello, my name is Tom, and I am a multiple award-winning illustrator and architecture graduate from the Royal College of Art.

I specialise in hand-drawn visualisations, illustrations, and digital paintings that convey powerful narratives. My work has won numerous competitions & awards, with features in major architectural publications such as Archisource, Archdaily and Architizer.

Within Architecture and Illustration, I have a longstanding interest in landscape architecture, retrofit, and sustainability. These interests have been explored through workshops, as well as practical, academic, and personal projects.

​

My ongoing research focuses on restoring the relationship between humans and nature that has been disrupted by modernity. You will see this reflected in my speculative proposals centred on Milton Keynes.

My Master’s thesis proposed the “Civic Garden” as an alternative to the Civic Square as a site for generating community. Through landscape architecture, the project proposes a gradual “erosion” of the architectural grid, which includes the dissolution of the external walls in some of the buildings on site.
