FRI-D10: Future Infrastructure Design: Foundations for Collaboration Between Landscape Architects and Engineers

Friday, September 18, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM PT
1.50 PDH, LA CES/non-HSW

Landscape architects provide leadership in major infrastructure work at a variety of scales and settings, from site-scale green stormwater infrastructure to regional shoreline adaptation. How is collaboration changing with engineers on designs that respond to the technical, economic, and social challenges of increasingly complex climate and infrastructure projects?

Learning Outcomes:

  • Examine landscape architecture-led complex infrastructure projects at different scales.
  • Articulate a framework for collaboration between various engineering disciplines and landscape architecture.
  • Develop skills and strategies for addressing the rapidly changing nature of collaboration.
  • Develop knowledge of the nuances of engineering skill sets and how they translate to better project outcomes.
