The Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA) recently announced the winners of the 2014 Awards of Excellence in Canadian landscape architecture. Selected by a national jury of landscape architects, the national and regional awards are judged on a variety of factors from project management performance to application of environmentally friendly practices. Read on for a look at these award-winning landscape architecture designs!

This year, 15 projects received national award out of a 29 total award recipients. The awards are presented in three categories: Honor, Merit, and Citations. “More and more frequently landscape architects appear to be leading projects that are increasingly multi-disciplinary,” says Brian Parker, Chair of the Awards of Excellence jury. “Collaborative work with engineers, architects and planners bodes well for the profession.”
