Jerry Van Eyck has been an influential force in landscape architecture and has worked on award-winning projects around the globe, including Master Plans, Public Spaces, and Urban Waterfronts. A founding principal of !melk in New York City, formerly of West 8, Mr. Van Eyck will present examples of his work against the backdrop of a critical view of his home country, the Netherlands. In this dynamic lecture, you’ll connect to Mr. Van Eyck’s passion for urbanity, understand his holistic approach to design and detailing, and reveal his sheer joy in the unexpected interplay of people and their environment.

(Bio:)
Trained as a landscape architect and industrial designer, Jerry Van Eyck possesses an unusual breadth and depth of skills that he applies to every project under his purview. He approaches each commission balancing both the macro-scale—how open and public space fit into the larger context of a city’s fabric and the urban experience—with the micro-, expressing materiality, ornamentation, and pattern through custom furniture, lighting, paving, and other details that give each project a singular identity.

Dutch born Van Eyck graduated Cum Laude from the Eindhoven Design Academy in 1992, after which he joined Rotterdam-based West 8 in 1992 (he became a full partner in 2000), and he managed and designed numerous projects on an international level. One of his earliest collaborations with West 8, Schouwburgplein (‘Theatre Square’) in Rotterdam, continues to be a model for contemporary urban square design, with custom furniture, iconic crane-like lights, and a trademark hardscape pattern that has remarkably withstood the test of time and heavy use.

Van Eyck has collaborated with and led international teams on award-winning projects and competitions, including London’s Jubilee Gardens, the 100-acre park for the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, One North Park in Singapore, and Soundscape Park in Miami Beach. While he was a partner at West 8, he was the project director of the team winning the international design competition for the Governors Island Park and Public Space Design in New York.

In February of 2010 Jerry Van Eyck founded !melk landscape architecture/urban design in New York City.

Jerry Van Eyck is an adjunct professor at the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and is a board member of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.

Happy Holidays!

As we enter our 15th year of hosting cultural events in Seattle, we would like to take a moment to review one of our most ambitious to date. This Fall alone, we hosted four events with six firms and eleven speakers for the Expanding Practice lecture series.

We kicked off with Beyond Boundaries: Three Transcendent Design Practices as part of the inaugural Seattle Design Festival. This event featured lectures by Atherton|Keener, Ball-Nogues Studio and Lead Pencil Studio followed by a moderated panel discussion with John Boylan.

Building on that success, we finished the series with separate events for Höweler+Yoon, Stefan Behnisch, and El Dorado, each discussing how they expand their practice to ever more creative and diverse opportunities.

It truly was a great year for design dialogue in Seattle and we could not have done it without our generous sponsors, supporters, and you. Thank you! Please come be merry, share a drink, and help support space.city.

in theater conveys the geometric landscape of an abstracted battlefield encampment.
Overhead, a system of nets, interwoven with strips of fabric breaks up the expanse of the
gallery’s interior, while tangled barricades divide the ground-level space. The spare architecture
of the installation reflects hand-made defensive strategies employed at the intersection
of manpower and technological power.

Eric Eley was born in Iowa in 1976. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Syracuse University,
Syracuse, New York, and has a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Washington,
Seattle. Between degrees, Eley spent two years as an artist-in-residence at the Archie
