The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced its 2026 Council of Fellows. ASLA Fellows are recognized for their exceptional contributions to the landscape architecture profession and society at large. Election to the ASLA Council of Fellows is among the highest honors ASLA bestows on members and is based on work, leadership, knowledge, and service.
“The 2026 Class of ASLA Fellows represents the very best of our profession—leaders whose work strengthens communities, advances environmental stewardship, and expands what landscape architecture can do for people and places,” said ASLA President Brad McCauley, FASLA, PLA. “Their careers reflect a deep commitment to design excellence, service, innovation, and the power of our profession to create healthier, more equitable, and more resilient communities. I am proud to celebrate these Fellows, their leadership, and the lasting impact they continue to make.”
“The announcement of each new class of ASLA Fellows is a moment to recognize the profound influence landscape architects have on our world,” added ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen, Hon. ASLA. “The 2026 Class of Fellows has demonstrated exceptional leadership and creativity—shaping communities, informing policy, and inspiring the next generation of practitioners. Their achievements highlight the essential role of landscape architecture in addressing today’s most pressing challenges while creating enduring value for society.”
