TOM GARDNER

ARTIST  DESIGNER  MAKER

INTRODUCTION

 Hello, my name is Tom and I am a multiple award-winning illustrator and architecture graduate studying Postgraduate at the Royal College of Art. I specialise in hand-drawn visualisations, illustrations and digital paintings that communicate very strong narratives. My work has won numerous competitions & awards, with features in major architectural publications such as Archisource, Archdaily and Architizer.

My philosophy as an architectural designer treats every place uniquely, building a deep understanding of a site’s landscape, community and social infrastructure to create innovative solutions that truly respond to a site’s needs.

​

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

​

My current research focuses on restoring the relationship between humans and nature disrupted by modernity. My Master’s thesis proposes the “Civic Garden” as an alternative to the Civic Square as the site of generating community, and 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.
