A co-founder — with François Vadepied — of Wagon Landscaping in 2010, Mathieu Gontier trained initially in fine arts, combined with Russian-language studies. He graduated from the École nationale supérieure de paysage in Versailles in 2007, and is today head of studies at the school’s Marseille campus. In his teaching, he describes an approach to design that is ‘grounded in observation, drawing, and engagement with the realities of each site’.

From this background, he retains a strong reliance on drawing as a core tool for thinking and designing — not merely as a means of representation, but as a way to explore and construct a project. This concept of designing, gardening and building, all at the same time, remains at the heart of Wagon’s philosophical and practical approach.

Mathieu oversees projects in the Paris region and in southern France, with a particular focus on grounding each intervention in its territorial and cultural context. He says that his practice is ‘based on a careful reading of sites, attentive to existing forms, uses, and perceptions. Landscape is approached as a process of measured transformation, revealing the qualities of a place while accommodating new uses.’

We look forward to welcoming Mathieu and Francois to the ALC in March, 2027

Might landscape architecture’s next form or evolution simply be a return to older ways (the Amish Barn-Raising, historic village models, gardening as social action)? Might it be less about developing new working technologies (the lie of “progress”) and more about returning to the fundamental principles of human connection and solidarity as the most truthful approach to landscape design and labor? // A Pathway at the Lyle Center // Now on index, link in bio // Finished photos by @rioaschphoenix // A workshop collaboration with @wagonlandscaping @hillworksdesign @cppla @lylecenter // Thank you @puentealameda @rennietang @onebigyard @kaseytoomey and to all the students for their hard work and labor by @wagonlandscaping

François Vadepied co-founded Wagon Landscaping in 2010 with Mathieu Gontier. His work, and that of the practice as a whole, is grounded in a hands-on approach that is attentive to real situations and to the gradual transformation of places.

With a background in geophysics and geographic information systems, François spent 15 years in digital cartography before shifting his career toward landscape. He graduated from the École nationale supérieure de paysage in Versailles in 2007 (where he teaches today). Since then, he has developed a practice that ranges from large-scale territorial studies to the careful cultivation of small plots.

François says that his approach is closer to that of a landscape gardener than a conventional landscape architect, in that, ‘it is based on a deep understanding of soils, plant dynamics, and long-term processes of change. Projects are not conceived as fixed forms, but as evolving frameworks capable of accommodating living systems and everyday uses. This position favours observation, adaptation, and frugality, seeking to build upon existing conditions rather than replace them. It results in restrained interventions, where design supports natural dynamics and daily practices.’

We look forward to welcoming Francois and Mathieu to the ALC in March.

Du brut qui suit son cours :

Around The Rock by Wagon Landscaping

"Around the Rock unfolds as a series of terraces set on rock gardens, each framing selected views to read the Verdura Valley — a coastal river landscape in southern Sicily — and to observe the ruins of Castello di Poggiodiana.

The project was built in one week with students from DARCH, the Palermo University of Architecture, as part of a series of initiatives developed for Agrigento, Italian Capital of Culture. The collaboration took the form of an intensive workshop, where students were directly engaged in an in situ design process, adapting design to the site. Guided by Wagon Landscaping, they worked at the scale of making, gaining a concrete understanding of how a garden is constructed within a short timeframe."

!! Merci à notre équipe !!
For all these years, we’ve been proud to ride our Wagon together — and even prouder of the team behind it. Without them, this adventure simply would not exist.

Let’s keep steering our own path : with enthusiasm, independence, and a hands-on spirit. No fuss, just a shared desire to design, build, and keep moving forward together.

Du brut : On part de presque rien.

Un sol pauvre. Du bien compacté.
Du bon enrobé partout.

Alors on ajoute : compost, matière organique.
On aère ! On inverse les horizons, on mélange !
Pas pour planter : pour fabriquer du sol.

Ici, à Chanot, on teste un îlot de fraîcheur méditerranéen.
Rien de figé. Rien de garanti.

Du vivant en train de se faire.
