This year, all the winners in the residential category of the American Society of Landscape Architects awards, the most prestigious in the field, prioritized sustainability, which is now almost a given. But there's also something powerful going on at an aesthetic level. Call it celebrating a sense of place or making the most sensible use of climate or geography.
