Vladimir was born in Latvia and graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a master’s degree in landscape architecture. He gained professional experience in the Netherlands and Switzerland before returning to the UK. Prior to setting up Studio gb, as a Director at BHSLA, Vladimir oversaw and delivered high-profile projects in the UK including RHS Garden Wisley, Belgrove House, 50 Fenchurch Street, Salisbury Square and a new piece of public realm neighbouring Hanover Square in Mayfair, London. His expertise is in urban regeneration schemes and mixed-use developments, while further developing a particular interest in combining art and sciences with planting and horticulture.
Vladimir published the Landscape Observer, a compendium of landscape architecture projects in London spanning a research period of a decade. He currently teaches as a practice tutor at the Bartlett, UCL and is regularly invited to give lectures and crits across several UK universities.
Vladimir’s artworks have been exhibited at the RA Summer Exhibition, National Original Print Exhibition as well as at a solo show at Potager du Roi in Versailles Gardens.
Sh*tscapes is a 160-page book by London-based landscape architects Vladimir Guculak and Paul Bourel. They are also founders of studio gb, landscape architecture and design studio focused on the integration of nature into the city.
