Campuses are being tasked to perform in a myriad of ways: supporting the academic mission and student well-being, accommodating new teaching modalities, and adapting to climate change. How do these considerations inform campus design and an institution’s aesthetic? Two university landscape architects and a practitioner share recent experiences and lessons.

Join climate and biodiversity action leaders for a webinar series exploring innovative strategies for decarbonization, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience.

Attendees will explore key considerations, real-world applications, and essential resources to integrate carbon budgeting into their design process. The session will also include recommendations for material specification using the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) 2014 framework, highlighting ways to reduce impacts from project materials’ embodied carbon, transportation, and installation.

Art and culture—like many public realm enhancements—may be their own rewards, but investors want data. This session presents a framework for quantifying economic and social impacts of public space interventions, using both technology and DIY tools, and a methodology for ensuring impact is attributed to the intervention.

Youth-led community development can be a critical component to addressing systemic inequities, including the risks and traumas associated with climate change. This session will present the impacts of a unique partnership between community, practice, and academia to provide equitable design strategies for resilience in East Kinston, NC.

Engage with three consultants collaborating as a successful, highly effective and nationally recognized multi-disciplinary accessibility and inclusion team using legislation as a baseline, going beyond to explore and push possibilities for a more accessible built environment, sharing examples for practitioners to strengthen their creative and inclusive design muscles.

This webinar explores tangible approaches to addressing these crises, including the use of Pathfinder 3.0​—a free online tool for measuring the performance of sites and infrastructure. The session provides tools and guidance for integrating ecological, social, and economic benefits into projects while contributing to global efforts to combat climate and biodiversity challenges.

Linear landscapes—streets, utility corridors, trail systems, waterfronts—are some of the hardest spaces to design but often have the most impact on community and ecological health and well-being. Panelists will share how framing linear landscapes through curation, choreography, and culture yields exceptional design solutions for these spaces.

This webinar will provide detailed information about how to interpret environmental product declarations (EDPs) and other reporting tools to help designers assess environmental impacts, make informed decisions, and align with the ASLA Climate Action Plan goals.

Since Stonewall, the queer community has made significant progress toward a more equitable society. Join us today to explore the pivotal events that have shaped the trajectory of the gay rights movement and discover how they have inspired the creation of memorials that mark the history of the American landscape.

In 2024, we're stepping up our game in setting ambitious biodiversity goals. During this session, we'll engage in meaningful discussions to identify key challenges, discover opportunities, and discuss how to overcome obstacles together across the design/supply chain. To expand nature-based solutions, we need a solid network of suppliers and partners.

The primary hurdle for a business leader may seem to be acquiring and executing new projects while ensuring client satisfaction. The reality is more complex. Managing a small firm can often be more demanding than handling design and project execution. Various management approaches exist. Which one is best for you?

Hear from leading coastal designers—researchers, landscape architects, and engineers—on how to work with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Districts to develop nature-based designs for coastal infrastructure. Strategies discussed will include tools and data required, concept development, team structure, outreach efforts, and policy strategies.
