Emilio Martinez Lara
MBCSLA, CSLA
Senior Landscape Architect
Emilio is passionate about blending cultures into spaces that enhance people's lives, striving to balance nature and city life so they not only coexist but thrive. One of the biggest issues he observes globally is the inequality in access to nature and public spaces—a disparity less pronounced in Vancouver. Here, the seamless integration of city and nature, with stunning mountain and ocean views, inspires him to create more equitable, accessible green spaces for all communities. Outside of work, Emilio enjoys gardening, cooking, kayaking, walking his dog, and traveling to explore new places. He is dedicated to fostering healthier, more vibrant communities where everyone can thrive and connect with the natural world and each other.
