ASLA Announces 2005 Professional Awards
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced the recipients of its 2005 Professional Awards. This marks the inaugural year for the Residential Design Category, co-sponsored by Garden Design Magazine. The awards will be presented on October 10 at the ASLA Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The jury selected 33 projects to receive awards from a field of over 520 entries. "This year's awards projects demonstrated the rising cultural relevance of responsible planning and good design across a range of scales and project types in the United States and abroad," said Gary Hilderbrand, FASLA, jury chair and principal at Reed Hilderbrand Associates Inc. "By bringing forward a compelling set of diverse projects, this jury showcased some of the successes landscape architects are having with the complex issues that arise for thoughtful design practices today, including the drive for clarity, expressiveness, rigor, and durability in design."
The ASLA Awards Program is administered by the ASLA Library and Education Advocacy Fund, a nonprofit 501© 3 organization established by ASLA in 2001. The ASLA Fund is dedicated to expanding the body of knowledge of the landscape architecture profession, to promoting the value of landscape architecture, and to increasing public understanding of environmental and land use issues and principles.
Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association for landscape architects representing more than 15,000 members. Landscape architecture is a comprehensive discipline of land analysis, planning, design, management, preservation, and rehabilitation. ASLA promotes the landscape architecture profession and advances the practice through advocacy, education, communication, and fellowship.
