Wagon Landscaping is a Paris studio founded by Mathieu Gontier and François Vadepied.
Wagon Landscaping finds out and develops its project concepts in practising and gardening landscapes, and observing plants and nature dynamics. The agency practice is based on ecological science and biodiversity developments, which Wagon Landscaping partners share in teaching (at Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage de Versailles, in
architectural universities in Russia and Italy).
Wagon Landscaping projects address a narrow niche of smallscale situations, the modes of attention and engagement with landscape that Wagon practices offer pertinent answers to how we could rethink the approach to landscape in other typologies and scales.
Wagon's work is often conceptually intriguing and bold, yet based on minimal transformation, mainly dealing with conditions for growth and studying dynamics of the soil, plants and animals. A range of projects address asphalt opening and investigate the aesthetics that emerge from an ethical position of leaving the material in place.
