Biography

Damian Thompson is co-owner and director at design studio Lat27, and a lifelong waterway devotee. As a landscape architect Damian has found a profession that allows him to rationalise this addiction – particularly when delivering place-specific and ecologically beneficial outcomes with engaged and empowered communities. On top of being captivated by marginal landscapes he has also enjoyed and appreciated a long, albeit intermittent association with the Queensland University of Technology School of Design. 

Damian’s work over the last 30 years spans urban design and landscape architecture for both public and private clients. He has led and been part of multi-disciplinary teams that deliver award-winning projects ranging in scale from intimate laneways through to major public parklands and urban renewal projects. Each of these projects have interrogated the mutual benefits to be found when balancing the needs of both ecological and social systems.
