Berno Strootman is a landscape architect and the founder of the Amsterdam-based landscape practice Strootman Landschapsarchitecten. With his team of roughly 20 people, he works on a wide range of assignments. From design research and strategy to development plans for both rural and urban areas on a national, regional, and local scale. That work has won several awards over the years. From 2016 to 2020, Berno was a Government Advisor for the Physical Environment, where he provided solicited (and unsolicited) advice to the National Government on spatial quality in relation to climate adaptation, energy transition, the forest strategy, increasing biodiversity, soil subsidence and the sustainability of agriculture. Additionally, Berno is a teacher, a judge at design competitions, a supervisor, a member of advisory committees and a board member of Natuurmonumenten. Yeah. We also get the feeling Berno has more hours in a day than we do.
