When Martha Schwartz studied fine arts at the University of Michigan in the early 1970s, she was drawn to land art, which uses the landscape as a canvas and incorporates materials such as concrete, gravel and sand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have enough money to buy a tract of land where I could create land art projects, so I decided to go into landscape architecture, which allowed me to work with the earth,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

After working with the landscape architecture firm the SWA Group, Ms. Schwartz established Martha Schwartz Partners in 1983.<\/p>\n

The firm has offices in New York, London and Shanghai.<\/p>\n

As she worked on landscape designs over the years, Ms. Schwartz, 73, read numerous books and articles about the negative impact of climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI realized that we could use the profession of landscape to deliver climate solutions and, around 2015, the focus of my work expanded,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Since then, Ms. Schwartz\u2019s firm has led the design of nearly 50 urban projects that aim to mitigate the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n
