LAF's 2023 CSI Program: Places for People
Places for People: Measuring Landscape Performance with LAF's 2023 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 exemplary landscape projects as Case Study Briefs. In this first in a series of webinars, three teams from the 2023 CSI program present the people-focused projects they evaluated.
For each built landscape, a representative from the design firm shares background information about the project and design, followed by the academic team presenting their research process and most compelling findings from their efforts to quantify the environmental, social, and economic benefits.
To see more of the 2023 CSI teams, check out the other webinars in the series: Midwestern Gems on October 10 and On the Water on November 29.
