The American Society of Landscape Architects has announced its top new landscape architecture projects in the US, including a remote art centre in Montana, the bustling Chicago Riverwalk, and an 85-acre park along the Brooklyn waterfront.
The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) ?  the association for landscape architects in the United States ? revealed the winners of this year's Professional Awards on 30 August 2018.
ASLA launched the awards to recognise the country's best landscape architecture across five categories including general design; residential design; analysis and planning; communications; and research. An additional prize, The Landmark Award, is also awarded to a standout design.
For 2018, a nine-person jury selected 25 winners from 368 entries.
In total, nine firms were awarded in the general design category. Among these is James Corner Field Operations ? the landscape architecture firm behind New York's High Line park, and the city's recently opened Domino Park in Williamsburg ? and Washington DC-based Oehme, van Sweden, which worked on the new Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana.
Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates' Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York received the highest accolade in this category, known as the Award of Excellence, while of the three projects in residential, the top prize went to a house nestled into a rocky hill in Austin, Texas.
