The State of Software Use in Landscape Architecture

The ASLA Digital Technology Professional Practice Network (PPN) aims to capture the state of software use amongst landscape architecture firms and organizations. The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes, and your participation is greatly appreciated.

The purpose of the survey is to collect valuable insights into how your firm is currently using various software programs in landscape architecture.

At the ASLA 2024 Conference on Landscape Architecture in October, the Digital Technology PPN will host two back-to-back sessions in the EXPO's Practice Basecamp on Tuesday, October 8. Topics the PPN will be covering include: the results of the PPN's recent surveys and 2024 Levels of Development progress, followed by time for attendees to participate and learn more about the PPN's working groups (BIM, AI, and more) and opportunities to connect with other organizations, such as BIMForum and the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS).

In addition to the PPN meetings, tech-focused conference events include the education sessions MON-B02: Generative Planting at Scale: Systems Design for Ecological Impact and TUE-B06: When 1 × 1 = ♾️: Design Ethics, Storytelling, and Collaboration with AI, plus a Learning Lab session on BIM vs. CAD: Practical Benefits for Landscape Architects.

Students interested in tech: don't miss the upcoming five-part webinar series Spark Talks: Integrating Technology in Landscape Architecture. The first event on September 24—Navigating Software in Landscape Architecture with Digital Tech PPN—features PPN leaders Radu Dicher, ASLA, Firmwide BIM Manager, SWA; Eric Gilbey, ASLA, Product Marketing Manager, Vectorworks; and Jack Garcia, Affiliate ASLA, Principal, Virtual Design and Construction, EDSA.
