The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced its 2025 Professional and Student Awards. A total of 69 award winners were selected, highlighting innovation and representing some of the highest standards of achievement in the landscape architecture profession.
Jury panels representing a wide range of the profession, including the public and private sectors and academia, select winners each year. The Professional Awards jury chose 35 winners from 463 entries, while the Student Awards jury selected 34 winners from 502 entries.
“These projects demonstrate that what is good for nature is good for people,” said ASLA President Kona Gray, FASLA, PLA. “Each project paired a high degree of difficulty with technical expertise and seamless design—congrats to all the winners.”
The ASLA / International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) Global Impact Award is presented to a project in the Analysis and Planning category. The award is given to Testing Ground: Adapting Fairways to Resilient Barrier Isle Ecosystems on Jekyll Island in Georgia by Design Workshop and their client, Jekyll Island Authority. From defunct golf course to resilient coastal ecosystem, this project sets a national precedent for adaptive reuse.
The Professional Awards jury also selects a Landmark Award each year for a distinguished landscape architecture project completed between 15 and 50 years ago that retains its original design integrity and continues to provide numerous benefits to the surrounding community. This year’s Landmark Award celebrates Restoring the Glory, the Restoration of Forest Park, St. Louis by HOK and their client, Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis.
“The extraordinary vision and expertise of landscape architecture is on full display with these award-winning projects,” said ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen. “Underneath the serene designs beats the heart of biodiversity, carbon capture and the health and well-being of our communities.”
