Zurich
Vogt Landscape Architects was founded in Zurich in October 2000. Today about 30 employees are working in our main office, including landscape architects, architects, product designers and horticultural experts.
Günther Vogt (*1957) studied landscape architecture at the Intercantonal Technical College in Rapperswil after completing his training as a gardener. VOGT Landscape Architects emerged from the former partnership with Dieter Kienast in Zurich in 2000, followed by branch offices in London (2008), Berlin (2010) and Paris (2019). From 2005 to 2023, he taught as a professor at the Institute for Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS) at the Department of Architecture (D-ARCH) at ETH Zurich. In 2012 he was a visiting professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim in the same year. In 2010 Günther Vogt opened the Case Studio VOGT as a platform for interdisciplinary projects between teaching and practice. As a passionate collector and curious traveller, he searches for ways to read, interpret and describe the landscape, finding answers to questions about future forms of urban coexistence. His work is characterised by an exchange between different disciplines and cooperation with artists.
Maren Brakebusch (*1974) studied landscape architecture at Leibniz Universität Hannover and has been Professor of Garden and Landscape Architecture at FH Potsdam since 2022. After working in Berlin and Hanover, she joined VOGT Landscape Architects in 2002 and heads the four offices in Zurich, London, Berlin and Paris as overall office manager and president of the supervisory board. She is passionate about supervising selected projects and has taught as a guest lecturer at FH Potsdam (2017-2021) and ETH Zurich (2020-21).
