Upcoming Webinar: LAF's 2025 CSI Program, Part 1

Part 1: Measuring Landscape Performance with LAF’s 2025 CSI Program

Monday, November 17
3-4pm EST

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 of two webinars, three teams from the 2025 CSI program present the projects they evaluated.

For each built landscape, a representative from the design firm will share background information about the project and design, followed by the CSI academic team presenting their research process and most compelling findings from their efforts to quantify the environmental, social, and economic benefits.
