Zoom into Spring with ZDA

Challenging and Inspiring Landscape Architects

WIASLA 2013 Spring Conference | March 7 & 8, 2013

Award-winning landscape architect Steven G. Ziegler challenged fellow landscape architects to rethink the way they shape the built environment with his engaging presentation: “Edibility, Food Production & Community Building”, at the annual WIASLA conference held in Oconomowoc. Motivated by Steve’s thought-provoking questions and inspiring examples, many lingered well past the end of the session to ask questions, connect with each other and further the discussion. ZDA is proud to contribute to the professional development of landscape architects.

Featured Project: “Arts and Crafts” Historic Renovation

The renovation of a historic Arts and Crafts home’s front entrance in the University Heights neighborhood includes on-site stormwater management, improved accessibility, and custom iron, brick, and stone detailing. An international design movement flourishing from 1860-1920, the Arts and Crafts style stands for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and applying medieval, romantic or folk-style decoration. Final construction drawings are underway, and the project will be submitted to the Historic Homeowner’s Income Tax Credit Program. See updates on our Facebook page.
