Upcoming Webinar: LAF's 2026 CSI Program, Part 3
WEBINAR 3: Places that change perspectives: Measuring Landscape Performance with LAF's 2026 CSI program
Thursday, October 22
2-3pm 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 third of three webinars, three teams from the 2026 CSI program present the projects they evaluated, which all use design to demonstrate new possibilities and, in doing so, change how people use, value, and understand places.
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 environmental, social, and economic benefits.
By registering for the webinar, you are also signing up to receive newsletters and program announcements from LAF. You can edit your subscription preferences or unsubscribe at any time.
