Measuring Landscape Performance: Findings & Insights from LAF's 2020 CSI Program

The Landscape Architecture Foundation's Case Study Investigation (CSI) program supports faculty-student research teams who work with designers to assess and document the performance of sustainable landscape projects as Case Study Briefs. In this webinar, participants from the 2020 CSI program present their process and most compelling findings from their efforts to quantify environmental, social, and economic benefits of exemplary landscape projects. The 2020 CSI teams faced unique challenges this year, so they will also offer insights about barriers and opportunities related to conducting landscape performance research during the COVID-19 pandemic.
