Joren Heise
Project Consultant
I joined LDA Design in 2022 as a landscape architect and urban designer. My experience ranges from site-specific landscape design proposals to new settlement masterplans and town regeneration strategies.
I also teach part-time at the Manchester School of Architecture on the MA Architecture and Urbanism course, where I lead the studio ‘Delta Urbanism’, which explores the relationships and interactions between people and nature in urban environments. I also periodically teach at the Landscape Department of the University of Sheffield.
My design approach combines academic rigour with practice experience, adapting different methodologies to explore new ideas and strategies for sustainable urban environments.
In my spare time, you will find me being active in the city, bouldering at weekends or creative when cooking. I am passionate about sailing and enjoy being on the water to discover new horizons.
