Write for The Field

The Field was established to give members in the field of landscape architecture a place to exchange information peer-to-peer and learn about recent work and research straight from the source: you!

We invite you to join the conversation. All ASLA members are welcome to write for The Field.

The Field is your forum for gaining recognition for your work and research, and for sharing your thoughts on the profession’s most pressing issues. Of particular interest to our readers is information that highlights innovative design approaches or unconventional responses to typical problems in any aspect of landscape architecture.

Posts don't have to be very long—700 to 1,000 words or so—and can take a variety of forms, from interviews to book reviews to first-person accounts of experiences on projects—lessons learned on a project; tips, tricks, and best practices; project summaries that discuss process and design...anything you feel would be of interest to others in the field!

For what Field readers have been most interested in lately, here are the top three most-viewed posts published this year:
