CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for Issue 27: LA+ FIELD!
.
LA+ FIELD invites submissions that explore the concept of field in landscape architecture. We seek critical, theoretical, and practice-based perspectives organized around three interrelated categories: Field as Discipline, Field of Perception, and Field Work.
.
The word field conveys the idea of a space or place—physical, conceptual, or operational—within which relationships, forces, or activities occur. Field refers equally to perception—such as the fields of vision and sensing through which landscapes are seen and experienced—and to action, as in fieldwork from which observations build knowledge and/or which grounds theory in lived, material conditions. In scientific and cultural contexts, a field describes the networks of forces, relations, and influences operating across space and time. In educational and professional contexts, it defines what constitutes the methods and domain of a discipline. Together, these meanings establish the field as a dynamic interplay between thinking, knowing, making, and doing.

Email abstract and short bio to laplus@design.upenn.edu by 27 June 2026. For information on submissions, see www.laplusjournal.com/Submissions.

UPenn MLA candidate Amy Xu speaks on process and imagined futures as a part of the LA+ UTOPIA production team:
.
"LA+ has given me the space and creative prompt as a designer to interpret authors' work into clear, visually compelling compositions. The topic of Utopia has been especially interesting, pushing me to engage with the shifting nature of idealism and hope during a time when imagining better futures feels especially necessary."

UPenn MLA candidate Lucía Ferraro reflects on methods of representation and collaboration as a part of the LA+ production team:

"I have always been drawn to exploring different methods of representation. LA+ is an opportunity to probe the translation of different narratives and stories into compelling visual media. The possibility to develop images and overall design with professors, authors, and delicate articles is enriching and allows me to understand curatorial methodologies. While I was fascinated by the previous publications, now I have insight into the impressive amount of attention to detail and flexibility that goes into creating evocative visuals."

MLA candidate Weiyi Wu has been collaborating with our team on Issue 24, LA+ UTOPIA.

We asked Weiyi what excites her most about working with LA+ this semester:

"Working on LA+ UTOPIA allows me to think about landscape from a broader ideological and spiritual perspective, because it addresses the deeper political and cultural influences behind landscape."

LA+ UTOPIA invites authors to reflect on the relationship between utopia and topics such as design, visual rhetoric, labor, technology, property, and more.

This month, we're highlighting the student team behind our upcoming Issue 25, LA+ UTOPIA!
.
MLA candidate Sarah Gyurina reflects on both LA+ and her work as a member of our production team:

"LA+ is such a pleasure to peruse through, both for its striking visuals and bold intellectual explorations of landscape architecture's many facets. As a young designer working on the UTOPIA issue, it's been fascinating to engage with both the potentials and pitfalls of Utopic thinking. It's inherently a design question: where can our imaginations and ideals take us to make a "perfect" world, and whom does that world serve or exclude?"
