'Every landscape architect helps shape their community for the better': Meet the ASLA 2022 Class of Fellows

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) recognizes 27 landscape architects, academics, researchers, and urbanists for their work and contributions within the field. 

Founded in 1899, the ASLA is the professional association designated for the landscape architecture community in the U.S. From their work and stewardship to helping design and plan beautiful and resilient spaces, this year's fellowship cohort is comprised of design professionals representing landscape architecture's importance and beauty. 

ASLA President Eugenia Martin, FASLA shares: "Every landscape architect helps shape their community for the better, and ASLA Fellows represent the most accomplished and respected professionals in their field. Their exceptional contributions from coast to coast and internationally have helped advance equity, environmental sustainability, and excellence in design and planning."
