Laurinda Spear, FAIA, RLA, is the principal and founder of ArqGEO and Arquitectonica. ArqGEO explores the complex challenges of contemporary built and natural environments, developing solutions that balance a modern aesthetic with an environmental practice to create value, identity, and a sustainable landscape. The firm's philosophy is based on the principle of preserving a location’s geographic character—the entire combination of natural and human attributes that make one place distinct from another—in an authentic design process that preserves the ecological and cultural environment.
