Professor Daniel Roehr teaches landscape architecture at the University of British Columbia (UBC) www.sala.ubc.ca\u00a0<\/a>and lab https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/greenskinslab\/.<\/a>\u00a0He is a licensed landscape architect in British Columbia and Berlin, Germany and has practiced in Europe, North America, and Asia (Japan and China) before full time teaching 2006 at UBC.<\/p>\n

Drawing has been Daniel\u2019s passion since early childhood, inspired by his father\u2019s work as a stained-glass window painter and artist and his mother, a gallery owner. During his professional practice abroad, mainly in Japan and China he expressed his ideas through the \u2018international\u2019 visual language of fast and expressive hand drawings focusing on communicating content rather than refined graphic representation.\u00a0His years working in Tokyo as a designer had profound impact on his drawing style, where drawing was used as a fast visualization tool.\u00a0Despite now being in the’post-orthographic phase\u2019 of digital modelling, Daniel believes in the\u00a0learning process of\u00a0conceptualizing\u00a0with\u00a0the \u2018hand\u2019 first prior to the application of digital tools.<\/p>\n

\u2018Off screen studio\u2019 teaching is becoming rare today, but his ongoing enforcement in studio to apply a combination of off-screen and on-screen design teaching produces loose, fast, and creative drawings\u00a0as well as a\u00a0healthier studio environment.<\/p>\n

Daniel’s second book \u201cMultisensory Landscape Design: A Designers Guide for Seeing\u201d, was published by Routledge in May 2022. He started teaching a seminar called \u2018Seeing Environment\u2019 in the falls 2018, 2020 and in spring 2022 relating to this books content \u2018seeing\u2019 the environment of the designer with the five senses:\u00a0<\/p>\n
