Outside the Box: Challenging Traditional Paradigms in Landscape Architecture
As communities grapple with the pressures of urban densification, climate adaptation and the global housing crisis, landscape architects are uniquely positioned move beyond conventional approaches and shape solutions that are both innovative and holistic. The 2025 CSLA-OALA Congress invites professionals and thought leaders to think outside the box, pushing the envelope of design and urban planning. The theme encourages us to think beyond the boundaries - re-imagining placemaking in a way that is both inclusive and responsive to the critical issues of our time—equity, reconciliation, affordable housing, the rise of new technologies including AI-driven design processes and the growing need for biodiverse and sustainable urban environments.
The Congress will explore how forward-thinking design can transform underutilized spaces, create resilient and equitable urban environments, and address the urgent demands of climate adaptation.
