What is the role of landscape architecture today?
On the eve of its 50th anniversary, the Landscape Architecture Foundation asked a diverse group of the world’s leading landscape architects to reflect on the last half-century and present bold ideas for the future. Well beyond the public conception of the profession as “gardener” or “park designer,” these landscape architects discussed their role in addressing weighty issues like climate change, urbanization, management of vital resources like water, and global inequities.
Through exclusive interviews and summit footage, this documentary highlights key themes from this critical, provocative, and inspirational examination. It features over 30 global leaders in landscape architecture including:
2016 International Festival of Landscape Architecture in Canberra, Australia
2017 LABash Conference in College Park, Maryland
2017 International Conference on Landscape Architecture Education in Beijing, China
Several American Society of Landscape Architects regional chapter events
