_SCAPE is now accepting content submissions for our next issue, to be published Spring 2026.

The theme is Disrupting the Usual.

Submissions are due Friday, December 12th, 2025!

As cities evolve, so too must the role of landscape architecture. The familiar tools and scales of practice are being tested by rapid technological change, environmental urgency, and shifting cultural values. “Disrupting the Usual” invites projects, research, reflections, and ideas that challenge convention — not for the sake of novelty, but to expand what landscape architecture can do and who it can serve.

With this issue of _SCAPE Magazine, we hope to focus on how your work has used "constructive disruption" to rethink established methods, expand the scope of our practice, and redefine what impact can look like. Have you found yourself as the only landscape architect at the table, defending ideas that felt like only you cared about? Have you shifted from designing with drawings to “designing” through engagement and policy-making? Have emerging technologies or data empowered your work? Have collaborations with professionals from other disciplines opened your eyes to new ways of thinking? Whether through design, technology, research, or policy, we’re interested in stories where innovation has taken root—sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly—to move the discipline forward.

Acceptable submissions include writing [academic, research, theory, poetry, project descriptions, observations, and more], drawings [renderings, sketches, diagrams, details, concepts, graphic novels, and more], and photos [of projects, models, people, places, precedents, artwork, and more]. All submissions must be accompanied by a 300-word proposal. Content can be submitted by ASLA members, affiliated professionals, practitioners, researchers, academics, students, artists, and more. We are also looking for a special image to be the cover of the next issue.

 Please send your proposals to scape.aslamn@gmail.com

by Friday, December 12th, for consideration.
