Design Principles & Projects
After graduating from Berkeley High School he decided to further his education with a clear goal in mind, become a landscape architect, so he applied to the University of California and was accepted. This is where he not only studied landscape architecture but also agriculture that was surrounded by sub topics such as plants or horticulture, soils, and nature. This is where Walker obtained a broader view of the concept of how agriculture relates with nature and how he can use his landscape architecture background to dive deeper into design concepts that associate with his knowledge of agriculture in order to create a promising future full of green.

with those principles and ideas Peter's portfolio includes not only are rich in diversity but also in small and big scale such as:


 * Gardens
 * Public parks
 * Plazas
 * Corporate headquarters
 * University campuses
 * Museums, memorials
 * And urban regeneration projects around the world

His landscapes reflect his knowledge of contemporary art, Modernism, and historical, cultural, and ecological considerations.

On the other hand, his projects have been known for putting the heart as if he were designing for his own, the ones that standout the most throughout his career include:


 * Sea Pines Plantation, Hilton Head, South Carolina
 * Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, California
 * Upjohn Corporation World Headquarters, Kalamazoo, Michigan
 * Tanner Fountain, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts
 * The Nasher Sculpture Center, in Dallas, Texas
 * And the National 9/11 Memorial, New York City
