The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced the recipients of its 2004 Professional Awards. (Includes project profiles and photos.)
The awards will be presented during the ASLA Annual Meeting, October 29-November 2, in Salt Lake City. The nine-member jury selected 33 projects to receive awards from a field of over 550 entries. "I was especially impressed with the quality of the projects at all scales and at various levels of budgets," said Frederick R. Steiner, ASLA, jury chair and Dean of the College of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. "The best projects displayed great understanding of natural processes, considerable sensitivity to people, and a high level of design acumen. I believe the award recipients exemplify the many contributions that landscape architects are making to improve our built environments.
