Approximately eighty Landscape Architects from throughout the state will come together in Orlando on April 28th to attend the Pattern Book Charette. The Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects has agreed to collaborate in the “How Shall We Grow” regional visioning initiative by providing visual representations of quality scenarios in conjunction with myregion.org.
This session will begin the creation of visual resources for the “How Shall We Grow” initiative. New language, new governance and visuals will serve as patterns to develop the regional plan. The participating architects intend to create a complimentary document to be used by communities throughout the region.
The FLASLA sets an example as one way an organization can participate in the “How Shall We Grow?” process and bring additional resources to enhance the regional visioning initiative. This large group of volunteer community and site planners will execute work that will add a concrete dimension to the visioning process for many communities. The 2007 Central Florida Regional Pattern Book is quoted as the most significant and important project for the Landscape Architect profession and FLASLA over the past 20 years and perhaps even the next 20.
The Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (FLASLA) is a non-profit organization operating within a national professional society that represents the landscape architecture profession throughout the United States.
Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) currently represents more than 15,000 members and has 48 chapters across the country with headquarters in Washington, D.C. Private, public and academic practitioners have a professional home at ASLA, as do international practitioners and members of related professions. For more information, visit http://www.flasla.org.
