Shifting Perspective & Practice

an interdisciplinary future

Built Environment Design Professionals, including landscape architects, are being challenged by the need to engage in continuous adaptation and respond to the implications of globalization, climate change and population growth. It has become increasingly evident that present design forms and approaches frequently fail to meet these challenges.

There is an urgent need to seek out new ways of responding to the effects of ecological, economic and social change on urban and landscape environments. Built environment design professions require multiple approaches and scales of engagement in order to present society with future design scenarios to respond to increasingly complex conditions.

The 2009 AILA National Conference seeks responses to these needs through showcasing various examples of professional engagement in developing contemporary community perspectives of real and imagined landscapes. The Conference sessions and speakers will explore the proposition that the built environment design professions should lead positive change in designed landscapes.
