On behalf of the landscape architecture community of Massachusetts and Maine, please join us in congratulating those members and friends of our chapter who are receiving national ASLA honors and awards this week, as part of reVision ASLA 2020. Wahoo!!!
Let us also applaud the landscape architects and multidisciplinary design and construction teams who contributed to the national ASLA Professional Design Awards won this year by Reed Hilderbrand; Michael Van Valkeburgh Associates, Inc; Sasaki; and MASS Design Group, along with Harvard GSD student Tina Ting Tsai, SASLA who won a national ASLA Student Design Award.
As Judy Nitsch, Hon. ASLA, said in the Honorary Members Celebration Monday evening, "When you overlay climate change on top of this crazy coronovirus quarantine that we find ourselves in, it's more important than ever that civil engineers and landscape architects work together. We are the ones that are going to create landscapes that perform and function well, and prevent disasters as much as possible. And we can do it together." Indeed, we can.
Every day, we are humbled and honored to work with incredible engineers -- and planners and museum directors and clients and extraordinary professionals of all kinds to create landscapes that strive to be resilient and equitable, that contribute to individual and public health, and that offer beauty and joy.
On behalf of BSLA, Congratulations! THANK YOU for the work that you do. We're so glad that you're part of our community.
