Today, where finite resources, various species, and distinct cultures are at risk,  landscape architecture plays a vital role in fostering a sustainable future. This multidisciplinary field combines principles from architecture, arts, urban planning, conservation, and ecology to support the design of our diverse built environments. The Career Discovery in Landscape Architecture (CDLA) program seeks to explore the foundational concepts of this discipline through a unique experiential learning, to discover its potential and significant role for our ever-changing societies.

Landscape architecture documents analyses, studies, envisions and re-thinks the interaction between nature and the built environment. For this year, the CDLA2025 proposes the framework - [IN]MATERIAL -  exploring the tangible and intangible layers of nature and the built environment through design.
