Every April, designers, planners, and others come together to celebrate Landscape Architecture for the entire month. WLAM was founded by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) to draw attention to the impact our profession has on the environment and communities all over the world. ASLA encourages firms to take part in the month-long celebration by showcasing projects and engaging in discussions of the profession on all social media platforms. What started out as a national celebration has become a worldwide event.
Fun fact: Did you know the term landscape architecture came from a book about Italian paintings? The book was published in 1828 and written by Scotsman Gilbert Laing Meason, “Landscape Architecture of the Great Painters of Italy”. It was originally a painting term, and the word landscape is actually Dutch coming from the word “landschap”. Click on this article to learn more: Origin of the word Landscape Architecture
