ASLA 2oo6 Annual Meeting-Residential Interests

From the pages of ASLA ONLINE Posted July 10, 2006:

Landscape architects specializing in residential design won’t be disappointed at the ASLA Annual Meeting and EXPO, October 6–10 in Minneapolis. Residential design will be featured in field sessions, education programs, and in the annual professional and student awards programs.
Recognizing that more than 70 percent of our members’ firms offer residential services, and numerous studies project tremendous growth in consumer demand, we called on many of the leading experts in residential design to help us create programming to meet the needs of residential practitioners. These experts will be on hand to serve as faculty and networking resources throughout the meeting.
Fascinating field sessionsPart education session, part professional tour, two of the 2006 field sessions will highlight local residential landscape architecture. They are being planned and led by prominent designers who can provide a behind-the-scenes look at a number of extraordinary projects.
