LAF Addresses COVID-19 Impacts

How the Landscape Architecture Industry Could Be Affected

On March 27, LAF convened three landscape architecture principals for a discussion about the changes they're seeing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the techniques they've implemented to maintain communication, productivity, and morale. A recording of the webinar is now available.

The rapid changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have left us all scrambling to adapt. For design firms, physical distancing measures have altered the way landscape architects work, communicate, and collaborate with coworkers, clients, contractors, and community.

Join LAF for a conversation, titled Landscape Architecture Practice in a Time of Physical Distancing, with three landscape architecture principals from a small, mid-sized, and global interdisciplinary firm to hear about the changes they're seeing and techniques they've implemented to maintain communication, productivity, and morale. The speakers, Brian Jencek, the global director of HOK's Planning practice, Signe Nielsen, FASLA, a founding principal at MNLA and Rebecca Bradley, co-founder and design principal at Cadence, speculated about longer-term (non-financial) impacts of this period that might affect the type of work that landscape architects do and how they do it. The webinar concluded with time for audience Q&A to allow for further exchange of tips, ideas, and perspectives for how to stay healthy, creative, and productive in these unprecedented circumstances.
