Innate Terrain addresses the varied perceptions of Canada’s natural terrain, framing the discussion in the context of landscapes designed by Canadian landscape architects. This edited collection draws on contemporary works to theorize a distinct approach practiced by Canadian landscape architects from across the country. The essays – authored by Canadian scholars and practitioners, some of whom are Indigenous or have worked closely with Indigenous communities – are united by the argument that Canadian landscape architecture is intrinsically linked to the innate qualities of the surrounding terrain. Beautifully illustrated, Innate Terrain aims to capture distinct regional qualities that are rooted in the broader context of the Canadian landscape. https://lnkd.in/gzQRd8GF

What does landscape architecture look like? It's playful splashpads and welcoming living touches outside of multifamily complexes. It's lively playgrounds, lush parks, public engagement events, and SO much more. It's both the function and beauty that we see all around us in our communities, but don't often appreciate. What does landscape architecture look like to you?

I continue to be amazed/discouraged by how long it is taking for society at large to embrace this concept of using natural processes to our advantage in these respects. The increasing natural disasters are screaming examples, begging the question:- why not learn & apply the successful methods described herein?

Architect Maggie Tsang focuses on climate adaptation, flood plain urbanism, community resilience, and the relationship between city and nature. The co-founder of Dept., a landscape architecture and urban design studio based in Houston and serving the Gulf Coast, she created “Prairie Plots,” a living installation next to the Turrell Skyspace, in 2022. Comprising more than 1,300 hardy plants and seeds known to thrive in the often harsh Houston climate, “Prairie Plots” serves as an example of how institutions can reimagine their footprint, letting changing climates guide the way humans interface with design.

It's no coincidence that for many of us when we think of the places that make us happiest in life, it's often a ‘landscape’—perhaps a beach, a mountain, a forest, or our gardens. These are spaces that are beautiful, sometimes peaceful or vibrant with activity. So, why shouldn’t the places where we spend most of our days—at work or living in cities—reflect some of the same qualities we love most in these environments? As part of our Thought Leadership series, Gemma Griffin from Macgregor Smith discusses the importance of landscape architecture and its significant impact on our well-being.
