\nBucking the Trend: Fighting Sameness in Landscape Architectural Aesthetics and Representation<\/strong>
\nSWA lead speaker Steven T. Lee<\/a><\/span> (ASLA) will join Martha Schwartz Partners\u2019 Matthew Gindlesperger (ASLA) and West 8\u2019s Donna Bridgeman (ASLA) to discuss the largely unspoken design \u201csameness\u201d that pervades the profession, from the representation used to depict ideas to the aesthetics of spaces to the narratives we tell. Through reflections on design processes and case studies, participants will learn how designers can buck this trend, reinvigorating the practice with fresh ideas and diverse design approaches.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1697137842665{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”39452″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1697137384357{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;border-left-color: #818285 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #818285 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #818285 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #818285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697562190055{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;}”]Saturday, October 28

\nNote: Anya will be speaking at three events, listed below.<\/strong>
\nSasaki\u2019s Allyson Mendenhall (FASLA, LEED Green Associate) will lead this panel with speakers Anya Domlesky<\/a><\/span> (ASLA \u2013 Associate Principal, SWA Group) and Rebecca S. Popowsky (ASLA, LEED, SITES AP \u2013 OLIN). As more design firms establish internal research groups, some have eschewed top-down research agendas, investing instead in organizational infrastructure that supports the bottom-up emergence of research priorities. The panel will discuss well-established research infrastructure and programs that encourage staff engagement, collaboration, and leadership while supporting disciplinary transformation.<\/p>\n

\nAnya will also contribute to this panel, led by Bradley Cantrell (ASLA \u2013 University of Virginia), with co-speaker Adam Mekies (ASLA, PLA \u2013 Sherwood Design Engineers). The role of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in the design profession is quickly evolving, creating challenges for landscape architects. The session will cover the historical context that has led to the current uses of AI, explore associated ethical and technical issues, and provide a lens on its future applications.<\/p>\n

\nRealizing Climate Action Ambitions: Pathways to Decarbonization<\/strong>
\nWith lead speaker Christopher R. Hardy (ASLA, LEED AP \u2013 Sasaki) and co-speaker Nicholas Pevzner (ASLA \u2013 University of Pennsylvania), Anya will discuss tools and case studies showing how landscape architects can achieve the ASLA Climate Action Plan\u2019s goal for 50 percent emissions reductions by 2030. The panel will review our current understanding of carbon sequestration and its associations with ecological restoration, and explore options for firms to decarbonize.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1697137842665{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”40508″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1697138036569{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;border-left-color: #818285 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #818285 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #818285 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #818285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697562069802{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;}”]Monday, October 30

\nSWA Principal Jeremy Klemic<\/a><\/span> (ASLA) will lead this session with speakers Chad A. Benton (ASLA \u2013 BrightView Landscape Development) and Jeff Counterman (Shaw & Sons, Inc.). Due to the increasing need to provide highly functional outdoor spaces in the built environment, landscape architects are frequently asked to create parks and plazas on-structure. This session focuses on the intensive multidisciplinary collaboration required to successfully design and detail these landscapes, including a deep dive into their construction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1697137493199{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1697561819854{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\nUrban Land Institute Fall Meeting 2023<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\nNote: This event is only open to ULI Global Exchange Council (GEC)<\/a><\/span> members.
\n<\/strong>Using SWA\u2019s San Pedro Waterfront Connectivity Plan as a case study, SWA Principal and moderator Sean O\u2019Malley (Managing Principal, SWA)<\/a><\/span> will guide a discussion including SWA Co-CEO Gerdo Aquino<\/a><\/span> and Mike Galvin (Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estate, Port of Los Angeles) on the San Pedro Bay Port Complex\u2019s critical role in facilitating the movement of international cargo throughout the U.S. and across the globe. The Port\u2019s significance encompasses trucking and rail logistics, jobs, and far-reaching community impacts. Recent evolutions in technology have enabled the port to repurpose portions of its waterfront, which provide grand opportunities to utilize that land for community-serving public uses beyond its longstanding industrial functionality. Areas of focus will include efforts to reach zero carbon by 2030, including the impact of various strategies on adjacent neighborhoods and communities; reconnecting the community to its waterfront while continuing to transport enormous amounts of cargo; and the likely futures of industrial technologies as they continue to evolve.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":40578,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
