Landscape Architecture
Martine Lotom — Landscape Architect
Landscape architecture focuses on what's built — site grading, drainage, retaining walls, paving, and the technical drawings that contractors need to build from. Martine Lotom leads this discipline with a BSc in Landscape Architecture from JKUAT — the only institution in Kenya offering this degree, accredited by IFLA and recognised by BORAQS. Most projects benefit from both landscape design and landscape architecture working together.
