Research Papers

The American Society of Landscape Architects publishes ASLA Research Reports as a platform for professionals to share specialized expertise relating to landscape architecture. ASLA considers Research Reports to be important contributions to a necessary and ongoing dialogue within a large and diverse community of landscape architecture researchers and practitioners. ASLA oversees a peer review process for all reports to ensure accuracy of content. Each author offers a unique perspective on the practice area covered, reflecting his or her portfolio of professional experiences.

Each report also enables readers to earn Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System (LA CES)-approved professional development hours (PDH) by completing and passing a self-study exam.

ASLA members may download reports for FREE on asla.org and purchase access to the exams to earn PDH here on learn.asla.org. Non-members may purchase access to reports and exams here on learn.asla.org.
