The future of our built environment hinges on the social, environmental, and economic performance of our landscapes. But how do we know that these landscapes– which may be designed to enhance social cohesion, manage rainwater, or reduce energy consumption–are performing as intended?Do high-performance landscapes actually work? This talk will introduce landscape performance research and dig into the infrastructure that’s possible, from rooftop farms to habitat corridors, thanks to evidence-based design.
