Waterways are crucial to the economic development, history, and identities of our cities. They are key locations to engage with nature but also serve as protective barriers against rising sea levels. Many formerly industrialized areas along the water also require environmental remediation from their former manufacturing uses to become fertile ground for new spaces of public enjoyment. Hear about amazing transformations of waterfront adjacent spaces and learn about the Waterfront Alliances new standard for waterfront design.

Site furnishings are a necessary component of many design projects, and most will utilize standard products with great success. However, some projects may benefit from non-standard options to elevate their sites. Learn how to identify when ‘off the shelf’ isn’t the best option and understand the unique process involved in creating Custom, Modified, and Modular products. Interesting case studies show you the planning behind, and design impact of, non-standard site furnishings.

Learning Objectives
  • Identify the features that differentiate custom, modified, and modular site furniture products
  • Understand the different manufacturing requirements between standard products and custom/modified/modular
  • Identify when non-standard products are preferable within a project design
  • Assess and anticipate potential challenges/considerations when ordering non-standard products

Sustainability in the design world has been a popular buzzword for several years now. But what does it really mean to design with a sustainable approach? When selecting a manufacturer, it is important to choose one that puts sustainability always at the forefront, from the very beginning of the design process, through the material selection and the actual manufacturing process. Sustainability is so much more than an afterthought – it should be the guiding principle in manufacturing. To be a
responsible landscape architect means to educate yourself on sustainable materials and methods, and to select a manufacturer who does the same.

Learning Objectives
  • Understand the importance of selecting the appropriate materials of street furniture for particular environments.
  • Learn about the traditional materials used in site furnishings and be able to compare and contrast them.
  • Learn about new alternative materials from a sustainability perspective.
