Mario Campos, FAIA, ASLA Seattle, Washington
Mario Campos, a senior partner of Jones & Jones, has directed the design of large multi-disciplinary projects focusing on the integration of landscape architecture, architecture, urban design and planning to promote community development and environmental conservation. His approach to planning and architecture emerges from strong regional, cultural, and traditional sources, closely rooted to the land, the environment, and the community. Based in his own multi-cultural heritage, education and professional practice, Campos’ projects visibly reflect their roots and inspiration in indigenous community and cultural values, as well as a profound respect for the environment. His design and planning work is continually evolving in manifesting a “landscape culture” and “a culture of place.” 
Campos’ practice is rooted in a deep commitment to nature, culture and community. Through broadly inclusive design processes, combined with pragmatism, he has successfully interwoven cultural and environmental values to achieve an authentic sense of place, and to empower communities to express their identity and heritage through design. In so doing, he has helped to establish and lead today’s practice of culturally and environmentally sensitive design. Campos has also shared his knowledge and commitments through active engagement and professional leadership as a speaker at professional organizations and universities, and as advisor to educational and civic groups. His professional experience includes planning and design of cultural and public facilities including zoological and botanical gardens, museums, public places, parks, and cultural centers. Campos’ design leadership, expressed in his exemplary projects worldwide and knowledge-sharing, continues to advance interdisciplinary, culturally sensitive, and environmentally responsible practice.
