Charles Anderson, FASLA
Landscape Architect:

five
ASLA national and 20 state chapter awards. His unique work brings wild, dynamic landscapes to national and international projects.
Sculpture:
Charles’s love of nature, especially semiprecious rocks and minerals, influences his sculpting. From his Arizona studio, he sculpts beautiful found stones and semi-precious minerals, each part of the metamorphic process that began eons ago.
Big Nature/Urban Ecology:
Understanding regional context and the spirit of place infuses “nature” into culture, influencing every aspect of the urban landscape. These places evoke
emotional responses that deepen our understanding of nature, sustainability, and stewardship.
Every city part must multitask. Roofs are gardens, gardens grow food, streets and roofs harvest rainwater, and all landscapes are habitats.
Using native and eco-appropriate plants
and natural systems is “context-appropriate design.”
This curiosity led him to rock and semi-precious mineral sculpting. He personally finds, hones, and creates unique, one-of-a-kind sculptures called “Skystones.”
