Session 2: 2:30–3:45 pm ET

In Conversation: Christy Ten Eyck + David Godshall
For years, ASLA has invited landscape architecture firms to pull back the curtain on their work, culture, and creative process through our beloved "Inside the LA Studio" series. This year, we are turning the format on its head.
Inspired by the celebrated "Actors on Actors" interview tradition—where two artists who deeply respect each other's craft sit down for an unscripted, peer-to-peer conversation—ASLA 2026 introduces a bold new session format.
In this exclusive sneak preview, two prominent landscape architects who know each other's work intimately will sit down for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about the profession, the creative process, and what it means to design in a world that is always in motion. No moderator. No script. Just two practitioners who have earned the right to ask each other the hard questions.
This is your first look at a new kind of ASLA session—one that will return in full at the in-person conference in Los Angeles this September.

David Godshall, ASLA
Landscape Architect, Co-Founder and Principal
TERREMOTO
David is the co-founder and a principal at the Los Angeles office of TERREMOTO. He believes that landscape architecture should rigorously examine the tools with which it creates: land, labor, materials and ecology. Through said ongoing invstigations into the nature of the relationships of the tools with which we create, landscape architects can come to build gardens that are just, fair, generous and beautiful to the creatures, land and communities they serve.
