2025 LILA Portfolio Award

The portfolio of Ana Garrido marks the early contours of a versatile and experimental landscape practice, one animated by a palpable joy in making. Trained as a dancer, Garrido brings movement into the space of landscape architecture not only as metaphor but as method — approaching sites as performative terrains, where bodily presence becomes a mode of spatial inquiry. The design process oscillates between disciplines, allowing choreography to leak into drawing, digital into analogue, reflecting a promising and restless creative force that refuses to settle in a singular approach to landscape.
