简介：
    Thomas M. Paine ASLA is a licensed landscape architect and head the Boston office of AGER, a Shanghai-based multidisciplinary design firm. He received a BA in Architectural Sciences from Harvard College, Masters in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Masters in Business Administration from the Darden School of the University of Virginia.  He has five years of experience in commercial real estate in Washington DC.
Paine is the author of Cities with Heart (2014), which makes the case for why open space excellence matters for livable cities. His involvement in Asia goes back to 1976 when he became the first Western landscape architect on the staff of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau. He first visited mainland China in 1988, before Beijing’s recent meteoric transformation. Twenty years later, he opened the Boston office of AGER after spending a year in the Shanghai office of the firm as Director of Design. His fascination with East-West exchange is in his blood. Several of his Boston forebears were involved in the China trade over two hundred years ago, and a great aunt was a teacher in a girl’s school in Hankou (Wuhan) a decade after the Chinese Revolution of 1911.
A Boston area native, Paine is an Overseer of the Massachusetts Historical Society and an authority on the Boston area’s astonishing legacy of firsts and innovations spanning all fields of human endeavor, as well as its many connections with China. He recently co-organized with public-spirited Guangzhou citizens a bilateral trade and cultural exchange event celebrating the 230th anniversary of the first American/Chinese contact that took place in Guangzhou in 1784.
