Azzurra Cox is a registered landscape architect and writer interested in the power of landscapes to shape and reflect collective narratives. During her years of practice at GGN, she worked on urban-scale projects across the country, including San Francisco’s India Basin Shoreline Park and its Equitable Development Plan framework; Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood Green Plaza; and Milwaukee’s Public Museum. Through this work, Azzurra explored how both the process and product of landscape architecture can deepen relationships between communities and their places — and in so doing can amplify existing power, lift up layered histories, and spur grounded activism.
