The mission of the American Society of
Landscape Architects is “to lead, educate and
participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning
and artful design of our cultural and natural
environments.” The goal of the Boston Society of
Landscape Architects Awards program is to recognize
the broad range of practice types and project
types in our area, from the small budget projects
by sole practitioner offices to the large projects by
multidisciplinary firms. Award winning projects
demonstrate excellence and reflect the careful
stewardship, wise planning, and artful design of
our cultural and natural environment and merit
recognition in one or more of the following areas:
•
Exemplary Social, Cultural, Educational, or
Environmental Significance
•
Outstanding Quality, Craftsmanship, Creativity,
or Artistry
•
Unique and Innovative Technologies,
Techniques, or Concepts
•
Advancement of the Public’s Awareness
and Perception of the Field of Landscape
