Transformative Landscape Architecture
To celebrate 2019’s World Landscape Architecture Month, SmithGroup highlighted some of the transformative thinking and design work being led by our landscape architects. SmithGroup’s landscape architectural work represents a nearly 60-year legacy for the firm, encompassing a wide range of award-winning planning and design projects that emphasize environmental and cultural stewardship and the creation of a rooted, inspiring sense of place. Our landscape architects are leaders for the profession, providing both current and past Presidents of the American Society of Landscape Architects, along with foundational support for the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s celebrated Performance Case Study series.

What did our group see as the greatest opportunities for mixed-use development in 2019 and beyond? Visit the links below to find out.
The Laboratory of the Half Century (AKA Lab2050) is an inspirational initiative SmithGroup embarked on to dig deep into the scientific trends, new technologies and economics that will shape the design concepts of research laboratory environments in the next decades.
