What Does SCALE Mean to Us?
SCALE is more than a measurement—it’s a lens through which we understand the world and shape our interventions within it. In landscape architecture, scale influences how we perceive space, how we design for human experience, and how we respond to ecological systems. It challenges us to think across dimensions: from the tactile detail of a paving stone to the sweeping vision of a regional green infrastructure network.
Discover the Power of SCALE in Landscape Architecture
Join us in vibrant Atlantic City for the 2026 NJASLA Annual Meeting Conference, where landscape architects, planners, designers, and allied professionals will gather to explore the transformative theme of SCALE.
From the micro to the macro, SCALE is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes how we design intimate garden spaces, plan resilient urban infrastructure, and respond to global environmental challenges. This year’s theme invites us to examine how our work resonates across dimensions—ecological, cultural, social, and spatial.
At the human scale, we consider how individuals move through and interact with space—how a bench invites rest, how a path guides exploration, how a tree canopy offers comfort.
At the community scale, we design for connectivity, equity, and resilience, ensuring that public spaces serve diverse needs and foster a sense of belonging.
And at the urban scale, we engage with the complexity of cities—where density, infrastructure, ecology, and culture intersect.
This is where we can have profound influence that can benefit our communities. By shaping our environments to adapt to climate change, supporting public health, and fostering inclusivity, we can be better prepared for the future.
SCALE also speaks to the interconnectedness of systems. A stormwater garden in a city block can influence watershed health miles away. A streetscape redesign can shift patterns of mobility and access. A policy change can ripple through generations. As professionals, we must be fluent in navigating these relationships—zooming in to refine, zooming out to strategize.
This year’s conference will explore how SCALE informs our design thinking, our collaborations, and our impact. Through sessions, panels, and interactive experiences, we’ll examine how to work effectively across scales—and how to scale up our ideas, our voices, and our influence.
