James Brian Clouston OBE (born 1935) [1] is a British landscape architect, and founder of Brian Clouston and Partners (BCP) once one of the largest landscape architecture practices in Europe.
Clouston was trained at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh and at the University of Newcastle.
The practice undertook large scale coal mine pit heap and derelict land reclamation projects in England in the 1960s and 1970s culminating in work on the reclamation of the Liverpool International Garden Festival (which as president of the Landscape Institute he had lobbied for) and Willow Tree Lane landfill reclamation project in Hillingdon, NW London.
In the 1970s his practice worked on landscape and reclamation projects throughout the Middle East, in particular in Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
In the late 1970s Clouston established an office in Hong Kong which was managed by Alan Tate from which many large scale Landscape Design projects were completed, notably at Sha Tin Town Park.
