Reflections of Place, with Dan Gordon

Reflections of Place, the debut book from Dan Gordon Landscape Architects, published by Rizzoli, offers an intimate look at the work of the award-winning firm. Dan Gordon, an ICAA New England board member, and Brookline native, will present the book, sharing his personal account of the influences that shaped him as a landscape architect. Through the firm’s work, he will illustrate their unique expression of design, one rooted in context, humanism, and a clear connection to place.

Following the presentation, join us for a reception and book signing, generously hosted by Michael Carter.

Dan K. Gordon is the founding principal of Dan Gordon Landscape Architects (DGLA), a New England–based residential landscape architecture firm renowned for its inspired placemaking. Ranging from hidden gardens to grand oceanfront estates, the work of Dan and his team, whether classic or contemporary in style, is unfailingly evocative, atmospheric, and characterized by a clear sense of structure and elegant detailing. A thorough understanding of each project’s context — the special character of the land, the culture and built environment of the surrounding community, the specific needs and desires of the client — leads to uniquely compelling results. Sustainable, enduring, and rich in both architectural and horticultural interest, DGLA’s landscapes have been featured in regional and national publications such as Veranda, Ocean Home, Design New England, New England Home, Traditional Building, and Period Homes.
