Join ASLA-NY on March 13th for our semi-annual 4 CEUs and a Beer. The topic is Site Design Strategies for Health and Wellness.
As landscape architects there are a myriad of factors we consider and integrate into our constructs. How we develop our site: from orientation, programming, circulation down to the very last detail of plant and pavement selection — each of these decisions has the ability to affect the user experience on a multitude of levels. Now in its ninth year, our semi-annual 4 CEUs Panel brings experts from a range of perspectives to the table to focus specifically on one of these levels: the links between mental health and design. Please join us in this series of lectures and moderated panel. Virtual Happy hour and discussion to follow! Generously sponsored by DeepRoot and Anova.
