The concerns addressed in the letter, as well as many other pressing issues within landscape architecture, are the subject of Cut/Fill 2020, organized by Ink Landscape Architects, PLLC, The Urban Studio tomorrow, July 23-24. You can purchase tickets here. eventbrite.com/e/cutfill-2020…

“We must come out in clear solidarity with those standing up to injustice, we most hold our profession accountable and take transformative and actionable steps to uphold and amplify agendas within the Black Lives Matter movement” aslaAdapt.com

“Black student enrollment in BLA programs is 4.4% and just 2.7% in MLA programs. Black landscape architects make up only 3% of practitioners. These numbers are unacceptable.” Read the full letter at aslaadapt.com

“The profession must develop standards of ethics that promote the dismantling of design techniques that result in the dehumanization of Black people. We cannot design places and spaces that establish the preconditions of violence or reinforce the carceral state.”

We call on academic programs to: “Teach students to engage with community members not through short-sighted participation efforts that only extract time, knowledge, and capital, but rather by forming reciprocal partnerships that extend beyond a semester...”

Actions for firms: “Reject projects that are complicit with the ongoing destruction and erasure of communities of color, including projects that perpetuate economic displacement, criminalize spaces, promote gentrification, and support the prison industrial complex”

ASLA ADAPT BLM Letter can be found in the Student Networking rooms at CUT/FILL today! Check it out and support them!

So humbled to have been a part of the 100+ students and emerging professionals who crafted this letter. Y’all inspire me to keep pushing our field forward #BlackLivesMatter

“The diversity within the field of landscape architecture does not reflect the places where we do or will practice, and this undermines the profession.” aslaadapt.com
