We are proud to announce that SCAPE is the recipient of the 2025 Landscape Architecture Firm Award. This year, with the theme "Beyond Boundaries," @nationalasla is highlighting how landscape architects break barriers—physical, cultural, and environmental—to shape a better future. For the past 20 years, SCAPE has carved a unique path through the field of landscape architecture. Today we are a robust practice with offices in New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco and over 80 people, holding strong to our values of climate resilience, community action, and ecological regeneration. We are so grateful for this recognition of our work and our ethos.

An interdisciplinary team from Auburn University’s College of Architecture, Design and Construction was awarded $875,000 by @thenasem’s Gulf Research Program to help Gulf Coast communities build healthful, resilient and thriving futures.

“Ready to Adapt: Building the Working Rural Coast through Design” is a project focused on rural working coast communities that need resources and tools to adapt to intensifying natural disasters and the socioeconomic disruptions they trigger: rising poverty, housing unaffordability, displacement and poor public health.

The team is being led by @lidl_au and @ruralstudio’s Front Porch Initiative in partnership with @scape_studio. In this next phase, the team aims to deliver implementable design guidance for a partner community while working with the Gulf Research Program and the Bold Solutions Network to identify additional support that can scale the Ready to Adapt approach to other rural working coast communities around the Gulf.

Last month, our team in the Bay Area celebrated—instead of a groundbreaking—a ground reveal at the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus. 
It's not often that a building is removed to make way for landscape. This milestone marks the first step in constructing a new pedestrian-only, publicly accessible space to connect health care, research, and teaching facilities on the historic health sciences campus.

Once completed, Parnassus Commons will be the largest open space on campus. At the base of Mount Sutro, the site sits on the boundary where the historic coastal dunes of western San Francisco once met the chaparral and forest ecosystems of the mountain. By helping connect the park to peak, a steep grade change is transformed from a technical requirement into a destination in itself​.

Maps and drawings can unlock stories of displacement, empowerment, regeneration, and community change. SCAPE had the privilege of supporting the Louisiana Environmental Action Network (LEAN, @lean_empowerment) on their Environmental Justice Curriculum for Louisiana K-12 schools. The curriculum fills a crucial gap in youth environmental education, teaching the history and evolution of Louisiana’s profoundly altered and vulnerable landscape. Since 1986, LEAN has equipped residents with the tools to respond to Louisiana’s unique environmental challenges—this curriculum advances their larger mission of sharing environmental knowledge across the state.
 
The design team created an educational mapping exercise that investigates the geographic, economic, and social history of the Lower Mississippi River, and reflects on the resulting environmental justice legacies.
 
SCAPE’s Founder, Kate Orff, reflects on the project: “I got to know LEAN during the discovery and research phase of creating the book PETROCHEMICAL AMERICA (Aperture, 2012) with Richard Misrach, and later through shared communications, research and curriculum initiatives. LEAN’s positive impact has reverberated around the entire Gulf Coast. Their skills in careful listening, place-based analysis, and communication have consistently been translated into significant projects that are socially and environmentally meaningful, and that repair the ties between local economies, human life, and the natural processes that support it. The Environmental Justice Curriculum project is a bridge to the future.”

For SCAPE's annual SEED research grant program, Associate Alyson Demskie took us through 110 miles of the Pascagoula River Basin in a canoe. On repeated visits across seasons and flood levels, Alyson canoed, camped, gathered, and sketched. Her project, Field Theory, presents her findings: photos, artifacts, and drawings that begin to reveal the Pascagoula’s patterns and establish a framework for studying “the field.”

At the Jim Moran Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, SCAPE is hand-selecting stone for the reimagined campus landscape, a project rooted in community well-being and contextual public space.

Over the past year, the SCAPE team has identified, assessed, and curated oolite and coralstone pavers, blocks, and sculptural boulders that will define the character of the new outdoor spaces. The coralstone, embedded with fossilized coral imprints, will trace pathways across the campus, grounding the design in Florida's ancient regional geology. Asymmetric slabs set at irregular angles evoke the meditative stillness of a Japanese zen rock garden while being reinterpreted through a distinctly local lens. Sculptural oolite blocks and boulders were selected not just for form, but for their capacity to host plant material that will root and grow into the stone over time.

The full restorative landscape reflects the Jim Moran Foundation's decades-long commitment to supporting youth, families, and communities across Florida by investing in programs to support education, elder care, family strengthening, and transition living for at-risk youth and young adults.

Today in @fastcompany, Nate Berg writes about SCAPE and @gowanuscanalconservancy’s Gowanus Lowlands Plan and the ongoing evolution of the Gowanus Canal from an industrial canal to a new civic landscape.

"Two recently opened projects exemplify the transformation underway along the Gowanus Canal. Both designed by the landscape architecture firm SCAPE and in line with a master plan it helped release in 2019, the projects are a preview of what it will look like when the Gowanus completes one of the most dramatic urban turnarounds in recent times."

The Lowlands plan, he writes, "set standards for how future development along the canal could contribute to its cleanup and restoration... Now, it is being used to help shape more than a dozen active development projects along the canal."

In Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson's book What If We Get It Right?, SCAPE's Kate Orff joins Dr. Johnson and Bryan C. Lee Jr. for a conversation on the role of architecture and design in connecting humans to nature.

What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures explores hopeful, positive climate futures through essays, interviews, poetry, and art, moving beyond despair to imagine a thriving world built on science, policy, culture, and justice.

Happy Spring from the Hudson Valley 🌼
 
This residential landscape perched above the Hudson River blends the Hudson Valley’s legacy of art and environmentalism into a restorative, regenerative landscape that increases biodiversity, improves water quality, and captures carbon. SCAPE’s design highlights panoramic views with a mixed native meadow cascading downhill towards a dramatic bend in the river.

We worked to restore 11 acres of open woodland and grassland habitats, locate outdoor sculptures, and repair historic stone walls—with a special focus on revealing rocky outcrops beneath the surface and embedding textures of local stone and reclaimed wood in the ground plane. An extensive woodland trail system weaves through the beech forests, meadows, and rocky slopes of the site, taking pause in immersive woodland rooms that unlock unique moments of rest and discovery.
