Do you live near or are you planning a trip to Washington, D.C.? If you’re a fan of landscape architecture, you’ll be pleased to hear the American Society of Landscape Architects has created the “Landscape Architect’s Guide to Washington, D.C.”

| The tidal basin |
This online, mobile-friendly guide helps visitors and locals discover more than 75 historic, modern and contemporary landscapes in Washington, D.C., and Arlington, Va. Sites include:
Tidal basin (pictured)
Pentagon Memorial | |||||||||
ASLA Green Roof
…and many more |
The guide was created by ASLA in partnership with 20 nationally recognized landscape architects, all of whom are designers of the public realm and leaders in sustainable design. The guides were asked to explain the sites from a landscape architect’s point of view and show how the design of these sites influences how people interact with or even feel about these places.
I can’t wait until next year’s Renewal & Remembrance event. I just might have to tack on an extra day to my trip and visit some of these sites. –Marisa Palmieri
