With the annual Professional Awards program, the American Society of Landscape Architects honors the best in landscape architecture from around the globe. Recipients receive coverage in Landscape Architecture magazine; winners in the residential category are also featured in Garden Design magazine. The Landmark Award recognizes a distinguished landscape architecture project completed 15 to 50 years ago that retains its original design integrity and contributes significantly to the public realm.
