Learn how the work of SWA, a Los Angeles-based landscape architecture firm with projects worldwide, enables cities to rethink their urban fabric in the face of unprecedented growth and climate change. Gerdo Aquino, FASLA, firm-wide CEO and principal, focuses on four ecologies that frame the topic of resilience, and how SWA is deploying landscape architecture to forge creative solutions at all scales, in projects that include Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston and Changsha Baxizhou Island in Changsha, China.
