As principal of Martha Schwartz Partners, her iconic and often provocative designs include the dramatic Fengming Mountain Park in Chongqing, China; the redeveloped Place de la Republique in Paris; Grand Canal Square, centerpiece of Dublin's renovated Docklands; and New Jersey's Winslow Farm Conservancy, a 600-acre site marrying art, agriculture, and reclamation. Her many honors include the Honorary Royal Designer for Industry Award, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, and an ASLA Council of Fellows Award. A Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Schwartz lectures internationally on sustainable cities and the urban landscape, and her work is featured widely in publications and exhibitions.
