What sets Technology in Practice apart is its role as ASLA’s hub for innovation in how we work, not just what we design. While other PPNs might focus on specific project types, this network looks across them all to explore how AI, smart infrastructure, data, and digital workflows are actively changing the day‑to‑day practice of landscape architecture and how we as a profession can stay at the forefront of technology.

Who Should Join

Landscape architects, academic practitioners, industry partners, students, and tech leaders who are actively using or shaping digital tools and systems in landscape architecture.

Why Join

Members join Technology in Practice because they want to be at the forefront for how technology is reshaping landscape architecture. It’s a place to share ideas, experiment, and understand where AI, data, and digital tools are realistically heading in practice. 

If you’re curious, a bit experimental, and want to help shape the next chapter of the profession, this is your community.

What excites me is that technology in our field is constantly evolving, which means there is always a chance to experiment, test new tools, and find better ways to work. I enjoy digging into emerging tech and figuring out how it can remove friction and tedious steps so designers can focus on creativity, performance, and impact instead of busywork. Even more than that, I am motivated by doing this with a group of curious, like‑minded people, sharing what works, what does not, and shaping how technology evolves for landscape architecture instead of just reacting to tools built for other disciplines.
