The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced the winning projects for this year’s Student Awards. This accolade is given out annually in recognition of outstanding achievement in landscape architecture education across eight categories.

A total of 19 projects from a 459-strong entry list were selected by a jury comprised of members from the public and private sectors. Each winner was selected for a number of criteria, including the quality of their design, context, environmental sensitivity, and overall value to the client, community, and designers. 

"Students are the future of this profession, so it’s encouraging and inspiring to see the full range of creativity, passion and talent that is evident among this year’s cohort of Student Award winners," shared ASLA’s CEO Torey Carter-Conneen. "Many of this year’s Student Award winners are focused on helping communities adapt to climate change, from addressing drought and extreme heat to mitigating wildfire risk and rising sea levels—clearly, landscape architects are a key part of the climate change solution."

    Believe there is a missing word "Dredge Ecologies: Climate-Adaptive Strategies for a Changing Island in a Changing"?

    In response to the ASLA Student Award
    of Excellence for Street Trees of New
    Orleans: Rethinking Tree Practices for a Fluctuating City 
    by Kerry
    Shui-Kay Leung (LAM, October 2022), the New
    Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways would like to encourage
    all students to conduct primary research and reach out to the stewards of the
    public realm when these areas are the focus of your research.  Although not contacted for this study, the
    Department is always eager to assist researchers in conducting primary data
    collection and analysis regarding our urban forest. For instance, in
    addition to two ongoing long term studies being conducted at our Brechtel
    Nature Park, we are currently working with the Southern Climate Impacts
    Planning Program at Louisiana State University to find a research-based
    solution to the impact of neutral ground parking by measuring the correlation
    between street flooding potential, insurance claims for car flooding, and
    locations of nearby neutral grounds.  


    As a C40
    City, New Orleans is committed to urgent action to confront the climate crises. In
    the past four years, we have embarked on an ambitious reforestation
    campaign, including a citywide tree inventory, mass tree planting initiatives
    for underserved neighborhoods, public tree giveaways, a reforestation master
    plan to ensure equitable distribution of canopy coverage, new forestry
    policies, a new citywide parks master plan, and much more. Of the over
    13,800 trees planted or underway on neutral grounds, rights-of-way, and parks
    since 2018, over 85 percent were sourced locally in Louisiana; this year
    100 live oaks were planted that were grown in New Orleans from local acorns.


    Departmental planting specifications (freely
    available online) and longstanding policy requires trees to be sourced
    from growers at a latitude of not more than 200 miles north or south of New
    Orleans. While we have worked hard to successfully to cultivate nonprofit
    partnerships to facilitate our mission to reforest the city, public funding
    accounted for approximately 23 percent of the tree installations since 2018. We
    continue to face many challenges to our urban forest, including removal of
    trees on private property, the decimation of our palm populations, tropical
    storm impacts and the accelerated costs of operations in a time of limited
    municipal funding; however, the City of New
    Orleans and our non-profit tree planting partners take pride in the progress
    that we have made in our effort to become more resilient in the face of climate
    change and take our role as stewards of the New Orleans urban forest very
    seriously.

    In response to the ASLA Student Award
    of Excellence for Street Trees of New
    Orleans: Rethinking Tree Practices for a Fluctuating City 
    by Kerry
    Shui-Kay Leung (LAM, October 2022), the New

    all students to conduct primary research and reach out to the stewards of the
