Martin Rein-Cano Explains the Importance of Dynamism in Landscape Architecture
In an interview with ArchDaily, TOPOTEK 1's co-founder Martin Rein-Cano explains the role dynamism plays in landscape architecture, and touches on his journey as a student to where he is now.
Now in its 20th year, Berlin-based firm TOPOTEK 1 has been an enterprising player in the field of landscape architecture and public design, with a portfolio of projects that emphasize the social and formal roles that landscape assumes within built work. Largely responsible for the firm?s success this far is the man at the helm, Martin Rein-Cano, who has served as one of the founding partners since 1996.Â

In an interview with ArchDaily, Buenos Aires native Rein-Cano touches on his journey and ideology, from the relatable predicament as a young student with an uncertain future, to his development as a leading practitioner amongst landscape architects today. With a strong artistic sensibility, he was set to follow a path in the fine arts, before pursuing art history and attending a seminar on gardens that pushed him into his current field: Before I encountered this seminar, I thought that landscape and trees, these things are actually given, not planned. When it comes to landscape architecture, often you think that things are there and no one actually did them ? God or nature did.
