AWARD-WINNING PROJECTS
Ludwig is best known for leading the design and delivery of iconic placemaking projects for The Crown Estate partnering with the City of Westminster. These projects include the elegant ‘Boulevard of Trees’ off Piccadilly Circus and several other innovative landscape animation and activation projects that transformed the way Londoners and visitors enjoy the historic heart of London.
This experience built upon award winning central London place shaping public realm projects Ludwig worked on with Atkins (now SNC Lavalin Atkins). These include integrated security at Whitehall following the 2005 London terrorist attacks, the Oxford Circus diagonal crossing and the urban integration of the Crossrail project at Tottenham Court Road and Bond Street, to name a few. High profile opportunities flowed from his career defining vision for the Clerkenwell area of London, the ‘Clerkenwell Village Renaissance’ project which received a Royal Landscape Institute Award in 2008.
