LAF Webinar - Inclusive Spaces

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 in a series of webinars, three teams from the 2024 CSI program present the projects they evaluated, which all focus on creating spaces specifically tailored for their unique and diverse user groups.

For each built landscape, a representative from the design firm will share 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.
