Biography

He is Chair of the Landscape Research Group (LRG), a Non-Executive Director of the digital arts collective Furtherfield, and an advisor to the Centre for Landscape Democracy at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

His most recent book is The Landscape of Utopia: Writings on Everyday Life, Taste, Democracy, and Design (2022).

His brother is the prominent experimental musician, writer, and producer Alex Waterman.

Research Summary

Tim Waterman's research explores the interconnections between food, taste, place, and democratic civil society. His research addresses imaginaries: moral, political, social, ecological, radical, and utopian. This forms the basis for explorations of power and democracy and their shaping of public space and public life; taste, etiquette, customs, belief and ritual; and foodways in community and civic life and landscape.

He has been a co-convener of various conferences and symposia. He serves as a peer reviewer for the journal Landscape Research, the Journal of Architecture, and for the publishers Routledge, Bloomsbury, Oxford University Press, and the Open Library for the Humanities.

Teaching Summary

Waterman teaches two modules in landscape architecture history and theory in the MA and MLA Landscape Architecture at the Bartlett. He leads the Thesis component of the programme as well. In architecture he teaches a third year undergraduate history and theory seminar, a fourth year postgraduate history and theory seminar, and supervises students on their fifth year Architecture Thesis. He lectures regularly at other levels and in other programmes.
