EDITORIAL
Working in the realm of the physical environment with different ecosystems— natural and constructed– makes the understanding of the aspect of conserving biodiversity, integral to the discipline of landscape architecture. We, as professionals are engaged in imagining experiential places, as holistic environments that integrate design with ecology, in the least invasive manner. LA Journal formally engaged with the subject in its Spring 2008 edition, LA-19. As noted in the issue, the landscape discourse has a multidisciplinary and collaborative character with many stakeholders like plant ecologists, scientists, botanists, hydrologists, naturalists, geographers, horticulturists, and others, working individually and in various institutions and organizations. Their ideas, studies, projects, and documentation have been informing, encouraging, and inspiring all of us as landscape architects. This issue brings together some of the encounters with these experts while sharing their ideas and experiences.
