Robin Hostick, ASLA With a BLA from the University of Oregon, Robin Alan Hostick has practiced landscape architecture in Oregon, Maine and Munich, Germany since 1993. Robin currently works as a landscape architect for the City of Eugene, where private practice experience both internationally and at the Portland firm of Mayer/Reed have given him a unique perspective on current design challenges and potential in Eugene. As a public practitioner, Robin has sought to re-connect landscape architecture to the community, and to diverse human needs supported by a variety of urban and natural landscapes within Eugene's 3000-acre parks system. Whether developing concepts for daylighting the Eugene Millrace, or planning experimental habitat restoration, a functional and place-based design approach offers direction in his work. Central to his philosophy are concepts of human ecology, the importance of diversity, and promoting designs that support natural and preferred behavior. Robin's diverse professional experience includes open space master planning, trail planning, stream and habitat restoration, design of parks and recreational facilities, golf course, housing, and urban design, as well as special facility design such as work on the Oregon Zoo and the Oregon Garden.
