Matthew Lake

Matthew is set to graduate from Penn's Weitzman School of Design with a Master's in Landscape Architecture. His interests lie at the intersection of public space, displays of the power and strength of nature, and resilient infrastructures. While at Penn, he studied the design of urban public open space and resilient water infrastructure, multicultural urban design, and wood utilization for wildfire resilience. Beyond the classroom, Matthew interned at SALT Design Studio in Philadelphia and will be a Landscape Designer at Dig Studio in Phoenix, Arizona, starting in June. Matthew's favorite endeavor while in grad school was raising his one-year-old son, Nolan.
