_SCAPE

Established in 2003, _SCAPE magazine is a regionally recognized publication produced by the American Society of Landscape Architects, Minnesota Chapter (ASLA-MN). Since its launch, _SCAPE has evolved to become a valuable publication made available to ASLA-MN members in print and to the general public through an electronic version. _SCAPE serves as the chapters’ primary tool for communicating the nature and value of landscape architecture to broader audiences such as affiliated professionals, municipal administrators, policy makers and educators.

Content is based on two primary objectives: 1) serving ASLA-MN members and, 2) promoting the landscape architecture profession through education and information. As a core element of the landscape architecture profession, design is a prominent focus of both the articles and essays and their graphical presentation. Vendor advertisements fund the publication. Standing features have included coverage of the ASLA-MN design awards, annual membership directory, and letter from the chapter president. Dynamic features include articles and essays addressing trends in the profession at-large and coverage of local developments and activities. Authors have also varied, and have included both practitioners and non-practitioners.

In April of 2024, a number of incredible projects from a broad range of firms and locations were recognized at ASLA-MN’s Annual Awards Gala with professional awards in the categories of General Design, Residential Design, Planning and Urban Design, Small Budget Big Impact, Communications, Research, and Unbuilt Works. Each professional award winner is recognized for their excellence in design as well as service to the landscape architecture profession in the following pages.

Congratulations to our 2024 award winners! A huge thank you goes out to those who attended and sponsored the 2024 Awards Gala. Your unwavering devotion and support of the landscape architecture profession does not go unnoticed.
