Thomas explores entanglements between the expanding discipline and practices of landscape architecture, including feral and post-industrial landscapes. He has taught foundation and advanced design studios in architecture and landscape architecture; courses in construction technologies, ecological planting design; and seminars in material culture focused on extraction and entropy. He promotes embodied, experiential making and fieldwork as critical tools for analysis and design and his students have been awarded by CELA and the ASLA. He has lectured on design education, landscape stewardship, and architectural prefabrication, and has been a design critic at universities in Alabama, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and British Columbia.

Thomas also leads Other Lands Studio (OTH), integrating his other training in visual arts, construction, and architecture. With international collaborators, OTH has been shortlisted and awarded in several urban design and regional landscape planning competitions. In over a decade of landscape practice, Thomas has also co-led design and planning processes with complex client and consultant teams for public and private landscapes, from large parks, botanic gardens, and institutional campuses to urban residential gardens and rural farms founded on principles of conservation agriculture planning. Much of this work has been awarded nationally and internationally for excellence in design and ecological planning.
