In January, a pilgrimage will be led to visit the projects of Martí Franch Batllori, a former student at Greenwich and director of awarding winning landscape architecture practice EMF. Students from across the school at Greenwich will be welcomed by Martí, visiting ground-breaking projects, and hearing how they were designed.

Martí graduated from the University of Greenwich in 1999 and, after working for firms like Topotek1 in Berlin, set up his own studio in Girona. EMF has been recognised as one of the most innovative contemporary landscape studios, with Cap de Creus winning the Rosa Barba Landscape Prize in the 7th European Biennial of Landscape Architecture and Girona’s Shores winning the Landezine Award (Infrastructure) in 2022. In recognition of his work, Greenwich awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2016.
