Andrew Madl is a designer, researcher, and educator whose work explores the intersection of landscape architecture, computation, environmental media, and emerging technologies. He is an assistant professor in the School of Landscape Architecture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where his teaching and research investigate new modes of spatial representation, speculative visualization, and data-driven landscape practice.
His work examines how contemporary technologies-including artificial intelligence, procedural modeling, geospatial analysis, digital fabrication, and biological computation-can expand the disciplinary tools of landscape architecture while critically engaging the environmental, cultural, and infrastructural systems they produce. Through drawings, animations, simulations, and design research, his projects position landscape as an operational medium through which ecological, technological, and informational processes become spatially legible.
Madl is the author of Parametric Design for Landscape Architects (Routledge) and The Nuclear Chronicles (AR+D I Applied Research + Design). His current research investigates speculative models of biological information storage and computational ecologies, examining how landscapes may function simultaneously as ecological systems, infrastructural networks, and living archives.
