Robert Glass is the founder of Space Open Studio, a landscape design and ecological planning firm based in Oakland, CA. He previously worked for Hyphae Design Laboratory, where he integrated landscape architecture with recycled water systems and civil engineering on a variety of sites, including public institutions, ecological preserves, hot spring resorts, and both single and multi-family residences.
Over the years, Robert has collaborated with many educators and alumni from the College of Environmental Design. In 2015, he co-curated Space Open, a multi-disciplinary group exhibition of artwork produced by landscape architecture graduates and professionals in the Gallery at Wurster Hall. His personal art practice extends from charcoal and ink figure drawing, to landscape sketching and haiku, to plein-air oil and watercolor painting - selected artwork is featured at Bobby Glass Paintings.
Robert was an ARC Fellow in Spring 2011 – he was chosen in the Faculty Fellow category.
