In honor of National Landscape Architecture Month, ASLA is making the April issue of Landscape Architecture free online. You can check it out here. Page 15, regarding the environmental impacts of Christo’s plans for the Arkansas river is my favorite piece of writing in it. They also have a story about the push for an organic garden at the White House, which of course, we told you about months ago, but they make up for this old news with a feature on the parking lot turned wetlands near UCSB and the feature on Yellowstone before and after.

My favorite article is on the projects students completed in Chili using discarded lumber:

Wade through the ads for ugly playground equipment and check out LA online. It has enough gems in it to make it worth the screen squinting.

    I laughed when I read your reference to the plastic playground equipment ads in the magazine. How true!

    Jadene, so true! The sad part is, it’s really all you can use legally without opening yourself to all kinds of lawsuits if a kid falls off it or something!
