Biographie:

Phillip Zawarus is an Associate Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He utilizes technology and computational modeling methods as decision-making tools for the analysis and design response to sensitive ecological systems. His approach attempts to bridge the gap between abstract conventions and perceptual experiences within our living environment to bring comprehension of intangible ecosystem services. His exploration and use of graphic visualizations, interactive media, parametric modeling, and augmented reality create dynamic datascapes demonstrating landscape performance methods and metrics in the field of landscape architecture.
