The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) invests in research, scholarships and leadership initiatives to increase the influence and impact of landscape architects to create a more sustainable, just, and resilient future. Landscape architecture has a vital role to play in solving the defining issues of our time: climate change, species extinction, rapid urbanization, and inequity.
We invite you to engage in this critical, provocative, and inspirational examination of the power of landscape architecture, and to join our passionate community working to answer the call to action. Ten faculty Research Fellows and ten high-performing landscape projects have been selected for LAF's.
