ASLA Florida Members: $25 | Non-Members: $35 | Students: $5

ASLA Florida in conjunction with Colegio de Arquitectos y Arquitectos Paisajistas de Puerto Rico presents Designing with the Community: Landscapes of Belonging and Resilience. 

During this webinar, we reflect on how the landscapes we design and inhabit influence our collective well-being. We will present featured projects completed in Miami, such as the redesign of José Martí Park and the resilience upgrades at Margaret Pace Park. These public spaces, prone to flooding and extreme heat, incorporate resilient solutions that equitably mitigate the impacts of climate change. We will explore how these projects strengthen a sense of belonging through public engagement processes and how they encourage users to care for their environment. Join us for this conversation to discover how, through conscious and inclusive design, we can connect memory, identity, and nature in every intervention—enriching our daily lives and those of our communities.
