Hiroki Matsuura talks about the importance of designing with the goal of maintaining as much green space as possible, rather than asking where green space can be added after other steps of the design process. Through three projects, Matsuura addresses the ideas of shared development, shared space, and shared office, which they see as linked to urban design, landscape, and architecture, respectively. However, Matsuura emphasizes that landscape architecture is notably present in all three domains, as it is never to be an afterthought.
Hiroki Matsuura is the CEO and founder of MADMA urbanism + landscape, a spin-off of the international department of MAXWAN, where he had previously been a partner. Rotterdam based MADMA has designed numerous green public spaces across Russia, China, and Eastern Europe, notably including Senezh Management Lab in Solnechnogorsk.

reSITE is an international platform connecting people and ideas to improve the urban environment. We work at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, culture, and economics.
We feature thought leaders whose work pushes the boundaries on how we build, design, regenerate and create life in cities, and frame them through many lenses, convening them in one place. We act as a catalyst for social action and innovative leadership. We encourage an exchange of ideas about making cities more livable, competitive, and resilient. We protect and promote public space, architecture, and sustainable development in cities.
All to make our cities more livable, competitive, resilient, inclusive, mobile, and designed with humans in mind.
