Landscape Architects work on amazing properties throughout the country. Often the projects are situated on pristine land fronting picturesque waterfronts and wetlands. Three landscape Architects discuss strategies for designing in these ecologically sensitive areas, and discuss how to protect and enhance the natural environment, while serving the client’s perceived needs.

Learning Outcomes:

Present a clear and coherent design philosophy as a guide for the project.
Communicate the ideas of sustainability and bio-diversity.
Explain various approaches to systemize communications.
Illustrate examples of integrated Landscape Architecture from diverse regional contexts.
