Rob Beswick is the Founder and Director of BD Landscape Architects, established in 2008 following his work in London, Chicago, Bristol, and Bath on a range of prestigious, award-winning schemes. He holds a BA (Hons) in Landscape Architecture (First Class) and a Diploma in Landscape Architecture with distinction, and is a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute (CMLI).
Alongside his practice, he engages actively in the wider disciplinary field as a Design Council Expert, a member of the Landscape Institute’s Awards & Competitions Committee, and a Review Panel member for Design West. He also serves as a Trustee for the Cheltenham Design Festival and as a Visiting Lecturer at Leeds Beckett University.
Rob Beswick examines how the Urban Greening Factor and Biodiversity Net Gain are reshaping landscape practice in the UK, arguing that while both policies advance environmental recovery, their success depends on integrating metrics with design quality, social value, and long-term resilience.
