Who is Martin Barry?
"I am a landscape architect and the Founder and Chairman of reSITE, which is a nonprofit organization based in Prague that is focused on exchanging ideas for more lovable and livable cities. We promote and protect public space and civic architecture. I am also the co-founder and CEO of City Crew, a creative consultancy for cities and real estate investors. I recently moved to Prague fulltime from NYC, where I was an Associate at W Architecture and Landscape Architecture for about 8 years and led multi-disciplinary teams on projects in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. I’m proud of being a landscape architect. I recently won the President’s Award for Community Service from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), and my projects at W Architecture under Barbara Wilks have received dozens of design awards in North America. I’m a Fulbright Scholar and a Fellow with the Design Trust for Public Space in New York." Martin Barry
