                        &lt;p&gt;Stefan Rotzler studied History of Art at the Zurich University before becoming a gardener. Following this hands-on experience, Rotzler opted to study landscape architecture at the ITR Technical School in Rapperswil, Switzerland where he graduated in one of the first classes of the newly-created professional program. After graduation, he worked with the town planning office of Zurich for a few years and then opened his own office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1989 he began his collaboration with Matthias Krebs. Together, they have made projects for gardens, public spaces, sports facilities, infrastructure primarily in Europe. In 2007, the Swiss publishing firm Niggli released the first monograph of the Rotzler Krebs collaboration. Rotzler has taught in the landscape program at Rapperswil and has participated widely in international competitions, juries and workshops.&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;Claude Cormier grew up on a farm and went on to study in agronomy and plant sciences at the University of Guelph. However, in search for a different perspective on nature, he entered the University of Toronto to study landscape architecture. After practicing for some time in Toronto and Montreal, he returned to school in the early 90’s to obtain a Master's in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1995, he founded his office, &lt;a href="https://www.claudecormier.com/"&gt;Claude Cormier Landscape Architects&lt;/a&gt;. Claude has been described as belonging to &amp;quot;the second generation of landscape architects, known as conceptualists&amp;quot;. Having emerged concurrent with postmodern architecture and on the heels of the conceptual art movement, the 'conceptualists' approach is distinguished by the predominance accorded the concept or governing idea that spurs a project and defines its every detail, from start to finish. This viewpoint differs radically from the functionalist imperatives of modernism. Within this camp, the practice of Cormier and his team is distinguished by his insistence to peel back the historic, economic, botanical, ecological and socio-cultural strata (whether hidden or manifest) that make up the sites on and with which they work.&lt;/p&gt;

Claude Cormier is the founder of his eponymous practice. His work explores a conceptualist approach to landscape architecture that, in contrast to functionalist modes, explores a defining concept through all aspects of a project's design.
