The American Society of Landscape Architects has announced the winners of their 2023 Student Awards, following the Professional Awards we published here. A total of 30 projects were honored as part of the awards, which the institute says represent a “bright future for the landscape architecture profession.”
Jury panels representing a broad cross-section of the profession, from the public and private sectors and academia, selected the winners out of 372 entries. The award recipients will be honored in person at an awards ceremony during the ASLA 2023 Conference on Landscape Architecture in Minneapolis on October 27–30.
“These award winners are the brightest stars in landscape architecture programs around the country and internationally,” said ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen. “When I visit campuses, I’m so impressed and energized by the way our students are committed to helping communities solve some of the biggest challenges. The projects represented in these awards speak to that commitment.”
