In response to the theme of this issue, TerreFemme, the women landscape architects at DTAH express their shared experiences and observations in this collaborative article.
The article explores the intersection between womanhood and landscape architecture by highlighting the unseen and underappreciated labour behind both domains. Naturalized environments, ground conditions, and subsurface components are meticulously designed to serve pivotal functions in our society – yet the bulk of landscape architecture work often goes unnoticed by the general public. Through this discussion, we hope to bring recognition to these invisible forces that influence our day-to-day lives.
Thank you, Landscapes | Paysages, for the opportunity to explore this topic and share our observations. We’re honoured to have our article featured in such a thought-provoking issue.
