Jason Cooper (PLA, LLED AP) is a Landscape Architect and Group Manager at ECT (Environmental Consulting and Technology). ECT serves private- and public-sector clients by integrating science, engineering, technology, planning and management systems. Jason Cooper "believes in the power of good design - design rooted in an understanding of the natural world and an appreciation for the human condition. Landscape Architecture sits at that crossroad. Our work challenges us to find balance between artful human expression and the restoration of Earth’s vital ecological functions. I believe a well designed landscape does both."
