The elevation to the Council of Fellows of the American Society of Landscape Architects is given in recognition of a body of compelling work and the impact on the profession. We celebrate Dillon Diers on this well-deserved honor as he joins 35 members of the distinguished 2026 Class. His beautifully composed work is changing the way we look at workplaces, campuses and public open space, especially in constrained urban settings. Congratulations, Dillon!
Diers is exceptional for his ability to unite design artistry with ecological performance. Across projects in California and the Southwest, he has advanced climate-responsive strategies that address drought, heat, and environmental change through inventive planting design, material reuse, and water-conscious systems. His landscapes are both highly functional and visually compelling, demonstrating how sustainability and beauty can work together to shape meaningful places.
Warner Bros. Second Century Studios Campus in Burbank, California is one of Dillon’s highlighted projects that brings lush planted outdoor rooms into the workplace. At Warner Bros., he transformed vast paved areas into a biophilic campus that integrates architecture, ecology, and workplace wellness.
Anderson Towers in Century City is another project in Dillon’s portfolio cited as exemplary for its impact on the profession. The 1960’s-era buildings and surrounding plazas are reimagined and repositioned as a unified and lush expression of a resilient workplace that also welcomes the public. The comprehensive transformation weaves together architecture, circulation, and nature to create a cohesive, open, and inviting urban campus.
