World Landscape Architecture (WLA), and ArchiDogs, a leading media company in China, are excited to announce a strategic media partnership to create greater connections in landscape architecture between China’s landscape design firms and universities.
This collaboration combines WLA’s presence as the premier landscape architecture industry website with Archidogs’ innovative approach to media strategy in China. By creating this partnership in China, the two entities seek to foster connections, enhance learning, and improve the landscape architecture industry in China through online and face-to-face events, industry roundtables, and publications.

Through partnering with ArchiDogs, we can have greater reach in China and inspire Chinese landscape architects and the new generation of designers to learn about landscape architecture.” Damian Holmes, Founder & Editor – World Landscape Architecture
Sherry Xi of ArchiDogs echoes this sentiment, stating, “The field of landscape design in China has undergone significant changes from purely aesthetic to now considering environmental, cultural, and social factors. ArchiDogs is partnering with the internationally renowned World Landscape Architecture to promote landscape design trends. We are also looking to break cultural and geographical barriers to provide opportunities for Chinese designers to gain international recognition through publications and events with WLA.”
As China continues to develop, improve cities and encourage environmental stewarship, the partnership between WLA and ArchiDogs looks to improve the future of landscape architecture worldwide.
