The following is an Oct. 5 press release from the American Society of Landscape Architects announcing its 2021 Professional Award winners.

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)—the nation's largest professional association of landscape architects—today announced the 2021 Professional Award winners. The 40 winning projects exemplify the highest level of achievement in the profession, and the professionals themselves will be honored at the ASLA 2021 Conference on Landscape Architecture, Nov. 20 in Nashville, Tenn.

Winners each year are chosen by a jury panel representing a broad cross-section of the profession, from the public and private sectors, as well as academia. The 40 winners were chosen from 486 submissions from around the world. Award categories include: General Design, Urban Design, Residential Design, Analysis & Planning, Communications, and Research. In addition, one Landmark Award is also selected each year.

“This year’s winners demonstrate how landscape architects are increasingly leading the planning and design of healthy and resilient communities for all,” said Torey Carter- Conneen, CEO of ASLA. “Landscape architects are advancing communities’ diversity, equity, and inclusion goals in significant ways.”

Professional Award recipients, their clients, and advisors will be honored in-person at the awards presentation ceremony during the ASLA 2021 Conference on Landscape Architecture in Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday, Nov. 20th, at 6 p.m. ET. For more information visit: www.alsaconference.com.
