ASLA 2005 Annual Meeting to Highlight Residential Design
New field sessions, education programs, and awards focus on largest market sector.

Landscape architects specializing in residential design will find a lot to love at the ASLA Annual Meeting and EXPO, October 7–11, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Residential design will be featured in field sessions, education programs, and new categories in the annual professional and student awards programs.

“Residential design is the largest market for landscape architects, constituting 40 percent of the private sector’s billable hours in 2004,” said Patrick A. Miller, FASLA, president of ASLA. “More than 70 percent of our members’ firms offer residential services and numerous studies project tremendous growth in consumer demand. We called on many of the leading experts in residential design to help us create programming to meet the needs of residential practitioners, and they will be on hand to serve as faculty and networking resources throughout the meeting in Fort Lauderdale.”

Fascinating Field Sessions
Part education session, part professional tour, the new Field Sessions were created to increase the continuing education value of what were formerly referred to as “workshops with a mobile component.” Three of the 2005 Field Sessions will highlight South Florida’s vernacular residential landscape architecture and are being planned and led by prominent designers who can provide a behind-the-scenes look at a number of extraordinary projects. Field Session space will be limited, so register now to reserve your tickets:

Private Gardens of Palm Beach with Mario Nievera, ASLA

Private Tropical Gardens of Miami with Raymond Jungles, ASLA

Private Gardens of Fort Lauderdale with Rhett Roy, ASLA

Exceptional education programs
In addition to important universal topics such as sustainability, plants, fire safety, and design technology, a number of the 2005 education sessions will focus specifically on residential design and will feature some of the most celebrated landscape architects in practice today:

Designing Sustainable Residential Projects. Warren T. Byrd, FASLA; Diane M. Dale, ASLA; and Sally Schauman, FASLA.

Architecture in the Garden. James van Sweden, FASLA.

Residential Marketing: Getting and Keeping Clients. Patrick Chassé, ASLA; Joan P. Honeyman, ASLA; Holt Jordan, ASLA; and Mark W. Rios, ASLA.

Residential Planting Design: Getting the Details Right. Bill Marken, editor, Garden Design magazine, moderator; Raymond L. Jungles, ASLA; Mia Lehrer, ASLA; Steve Martino, FASLA; and James van Sweden, FASLA.

Amazing awards
The ASLA 2005 Professional and Student Awards program features a new category—Residential Design—drawing more than 120 entries in its inaugural year. Cosponsored by Garden Design magazine, awards in this new category will be presented on Monday, October 10, during the ASLA Awards Ceremony. A special luncheon honoring all award recipients, their clients, and professors will be held following the ceremony.

Award-winning entry binders will be on display for attendees to peruse in the ASLA Common during EXPO hours. The 2005 awards video featuring the winning projects will premier during the Awards Ceremony, and copies of the video will be available in the bookstore.

Meet the magazine editors
Bring your portfolio and meet the editors of the leading industry magazines. Bill Thompson, FASLA, of Landscape Architecture, Bill Marken, of Garden Design, Charlotte Frieze, ASLA, of House and Garden, and Susan Szenasy of Metropolis will participate in an Editor’s Roundtable to discuss their editorial missions and how to get your project published. Szenasy will also be the featured keynote speaker for the Student General Session (all attendees invited). As an added bonus, all Annual Meeting registrants will receive a free one-year subscription to Garden Design magazine.
