About

Bionic is invested in the belief that the world is now a designed and managed place: biological and technological, existing and invented, alive and constructed. Through this belief Bionic strives to thoughtfully synthesize all the forces at play in a given project. The complexity of landscape, infrastructure, technology, architecture, transportation, ecology, politics, economics, and social factors is resolved through a highly creative and collaborative approach to projects.

Our collaborations with engineers, architects, ecologists, communities, and stakeholders are designed to meet the specific needs of each project and to culture strong close working relationships.

The creative capability of Bionic is reflected in the wide range of complex projects in our portfolio of design and management experience both domestic and international. The portfolio includes art installations, new urban centers, waterfronts, stream corridors, habitat restoration, industrial facilities, mixed use development, and intimate urban spaces. As you would expect, each project responds to the unique conditions of the site, context, and client needs with intelligent solutions that deliver performance through the most efficient methods.

Bionic is committed to contemporary solutions that address immediate concerns and anticipate the future.

The combined projects of Marcel Wilson's and Scott Smith’s work and expertise has been recognized through academic and professional awards, mayoral task force appointments, publications, and academic positions and juries.

To facilitate the full range of needs in contemporary projects, we offer services in planning, landscape architecture, ecology, graphic design, and environmental communications. Equipped with state of the art computer infrastructure and model building facilities, our practice is an innovative idea and hard core delivery machine with an A-team.

Work Experience

Managing Director
BIONIC - San Francisco
January, 1981 - Present
Every day I am excited by our potential to meet creative challenges through our landscape design approach. What we do is "innovation under the sky." Bionic is invested in the belief that the world today is an open, living system that constantly designs and manages itself. We partner with this intelligence by generating inventive experiential design. As a practice we are fundamentally engaged in negotiating the relationship between things that are alive and things that are made. As landscape architects, we are a strong force in projects, resolving the complex interplay between people and environments at any scale, from very small to very large. I am privileged to manage our client relationships and guide the expertise of some of the most creative directors and designers in the country toward sustainable solutions to our planet's most pressing challenges.
