Catherine Mosbach is the founder of Paris-based design firm
mosbach paysagiste, which she established in 1987, as well as the
magazine Pages Paysages, which she co-founded with Marc
Claramunt, Pascale Jacotot and Vincent Tricaud. Catherine is
renowned for socially and environmentally responsible work that
attests to temporality and continuing change, referring those who
interact with these landscapes to relationships with history,
culture and the elements.



Mosbach’s many projects include the Solutre archaeological park
in Saone-et-Loire, Walk Sluice of Saint-Denis, the Botanical
Garden of Bordeaux, the other side in Quebec City, Shan Shui at
the International Horticultural Exposition in Xian, the Place de
la Republic in Paris, Walking Mediterranean Fort Saint Jean in
Marseille. Mosbach’s work reveals latencies and hidden layers in
the landscape, making the amorphous, ambiguous or slow-moving
apparent in real time. The firm’s projects are often close to a
decade in the making, with precise relationships to site
conditions, rhythms of activity and occupation and seasonal
variation.



Mosbach is the recipient of the equerre d’argent award with
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa for the Louvre Lens Museum Park
in 2013, and Phase Shift Park (Gateway park) in Taichung was
honoured in 2014 in the Iconic Concept Award category by the
German Design Council, Munich. Catherine was named an officer of
the Legion of Honor proposed by the President of the Republic
Francois Hollande in 2016, and is a graduate of the Landscape
Architecture School of Versailles. She also instructs the course
Build with Life: Transformation and Formation: Landscape and
Islamic Culture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of
Design.
