Issues
Climate change, rapid urbanization, species extinction, and inequity make the need for sustainable landscape solutions greater than ever.
Together we can transform our world through design
What We Do
LAF works to increase the capacity, influence, and impact of landscape architects to create a more sustainable, just, and resilient future.
For over 50 years, LAF has been identifying priorities and strengthening the discipline to meet weighty environmental, social, and economic challenges. We believe in the power of design to create a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable world.
The charge is serious. The charge is urgent. The moment is now. Landscape architects have a vital role to play.

Thank You to Our 2017 Scholarship Jurors

Each year, the Landscape Architecture Foundation offers over $60,000 in awards through up to 11 different scholarships and fellowships, established by generous sponsors. The winners are chosen through a competitive application and selection process. LAF convenes juries to decide the winners of four awards, and we would like to extend a sincere thank you to this year’s jurors. We appreciate the energy you put into the process and your commitment to supporting the next generation of designers!
