The American Society of Landscape Architects. We have inspected the site and talked with local residents, government (neighborhood committees) and design institutes. Incorporating technologies typically reserved for larger applications, the garden minimizes potable water consumption and maximizes efficiency through an automated water recovery, collection, filtration, and distribution system. Summarizing our previous research content and practical experience, we compile this handbook, and have shared our results with the public through flash mob activities, new media, videos, forums, etc., and after which, correct the handbook content based on the feedback.We are looking forward to building a platform for joint development and a communication foundation between residents, tourists, government and professionals. Celebrating its 20th anniversary as one of the largest self-sustaining wetland mitigation projects in the country, Crosswinds Marsh has become a national benchmark for ecological restoration and environmental design. Designed and built by students in a collaborative studio with landscape architecture students leading architecture and graphic design students, the garden highlights the best of what each discipline can contribute to a collective design process. The project engaged five different communities over a period of two years. The process demonstrates that simple short-term low-budget projects are effective at engaging communities, empowering residents, and improving neighborhood quality of life.

The salt ponds industry, fishing, boating, eco-tourism, restaurant, hotels will be available around this jetty project in the middle of the lagoon, which serves as a transition joint connecting opportunities on the coast and mainland. Within this new stretched life circle, more local people, groups, and parties can be a part of it together contributing to the development of social justice.Cleaning water and the environment with green sanitation infrastructure provides a framework for a thriving urban ecosystem where human waste is transformed into resources to grow food, plant-based products, and create urban habitat.Despite unprecedented public transit investment and transit-oriented development over the last two decades in Los Angeles, transit ridership remains low. The Plan presents new ways of thinking about the public realm and landscape in the city, and provides a tactical dialogue about how we design, maintain and use our parks, streets and other open spaces to support urban life and achieve a bold and transformative legacy for future generations.Site commissioningâthe process of establishing and then field-verifying performance goalsâis a mechanism for proving that investment in constructed landscapes is environmentally, socially, and financially worthwhile.
The white paper was developed through a unique collaboration between policy-makers, landscape architects, and 89 industry leaders. Several important results indicated further design improvement.Aiming at the spatial regeneration and community building synergy development, the Dàshílànr Micro-Regeneration Handbook takes the Dàshílànr area in Beijing as example, the micro-regeneration as the guiding concept, to explore the Beijing old town Hutong renewal methods.The project is in cooperation with THUPDI, Beijing Municipal Institute of City Planning and Design, Dàshílànr Platform. A central walk and stair tie the rooms together creating a central axis for service and accessibility. Elements of the site are organized along the sloping meadows amongst the predominant native Quercus agrifolia. 636 Eye Street NW. For performance evaluation, high-precision data is needed but hard to come by.Aiming to find out how much runoff can be reduced by canopy trees, lawn, and bioretention basins with different levels of rainfall, this research uses a wireless sensor network to visualize the whole rainfall process of a closed-watershed campus site named This study provides a set of monitoring indicators and methods for rainwater management which has great potential for more applications and can help landscape architects to evaluate post occupancy.

Project successes include five built projects, a neighborhood advocacy group, and a long-term plan under final design by a local landscape architecture firm. Washington, D.C. 20001-3736. Email: info@asla.org The strategic site design also facilitated low-impact recreation like hiking, horseback riding, paddling, fishing and birding, leaving an indelible legacy that continues to offer numerous environmental learning opportunities for thousands of annual visitors to this day. The Site Commissioning White Paper, published in 2017 by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), proposes an agency-wide, site-commissioning process for GSA's future land development projects.
