[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/a> As a leading practice of landscape architecture, planning, and urban design, SWA\u2019s professionals engage in projects of all scales\u2014from a discrete urban pocket park to master planning entirely new cities. We believe that landscape and open space are essential elements of the infrastructure of great cities–as critical as a freeway or electrical grid. Our responsibility as land-based professionals goes beyond fulfilling our clients\u2019 objectives to also contribute to the greater health of the human and natural systems that underpin communities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1549966853473{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1549967211034{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”36334″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” css=”.vc_custom_1682676263193{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” link=”https:\/\/live-swa-2019.pantheonsite.io\/project\/landscape-architecture\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ el_class=”summer”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1549960878828{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]OCT Bao\u2019an Waterfront Cultural Park<\/span><\/a> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/a>Landscape architecture at SWA involves the design of landscapes at a variety of scales\u2014from large, multi-functional sites to small, intimate spaces. Innovative research into materials, lifestyles and landscape technologies coupled with a deep understanding of how people use outdoor spaces informs our unique design process.

We integrate high-level landscape architecture into our planning work. Our plans make sensitive use of topography, landform, natural resources, vegetation, infrastructure and buildings, resulting in more livable and sustainable projects. This approach can nurture new directions for the master planning of communities, campuses, workplaces, civic and commercial districts, transit-oriented developments, waterfronts, recreation, and natural system restoration. As needed, we pull together teams of consultants ranging from engineers to scientists whose collective experience complements our own. SWA\u2019s award-winning planning work is recognized for creating exceptional places.

As with planning, we integrate high-level landscape architecture into our urban design work. Whether it\u2019s decaying infrastructure, a prominent urban district, high-density living, a river corridor, heavily used public spaces, or a series of transit stations, urban design requires a sophisticated understanding of integrating nature into dense urban environments. The multi-functional character of urban design is the key to its success. SWA excels in this regard and our success can be measured by the quality of our implemented projects around the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text] Services [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text] As a leading practice of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLandscape Architecture<\/a><\/span> | Planning<\/a><\/span> | Urban Design<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n
