BASE (Bien Aménager Son Environnement) is a french team of associates founded by three government-approved (dplg) landscape architects from the Versailles National School of Landscape Architecture :
Franck Poirier, Bertrand Vignal and Clément Willemin.
BASE founds its reflection on a cross-analysis between urban (architecture/landscape) and aesthetic (garden art/contemporary art) aproaches.
The projects’ implementation is based on the status and nature of spaces, all the while taking into account the evolutive and unreachable character of the city and the territory.
« Since 2000, BASE has carried out the design and supervision of landscape (public parks, city parks, tourist parks, outdoor public areas, linear developments) and urban (urban planning and roadworks) projects.
From Rennes to Strasbourg, Belgium to La Réunion, our team based in Paris brings together the cream of French and international architects and engineers to develop and design projects which put the human side at the heart of their priorities. »

The Catalan landscape architect Fernando Caruncho runs his own office in Madrid and, since 1980, has designed and created a great number of gardens, mainly in Spain, among others the Ollauri Gardens in La Rioja (1985-1987) and the park of Mas de las Voltes in Castel de Ampurdán (1995-1997) which is remarkable for its ‘plain’ of wheat fields. Caruncho has carefully studied the history of oriental and occidental garden architecture and translates a number of archetypical elements of Moorish and Arabic gardens into contemporary designs.
