LAF has announced the second round of Landscape Performance Education Grants, made possible by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute's Foundation for Education & Research.

The Landscape Architecture Foundation has announced the second round of Landscape Performance Education Grants, as a way to accelerate the integration of landscape performance in design education.

LAF is offering five $2,500 mini-grants to select university faculty for the Spring 2015. Participating faculty will work with LAF to develop and test models for integrating landscape performance into standard landscape architecture course offerings, such as research and methods, site planning and analysis, design studios, and other lecture or seminar courses.

Applications are now available and will be due November 14. Each application should include a teaching proposal, which will be evaluated for quality and feasibility by LAF and an independent committee of educators. Grant recipients will be announced in early December.
