We are honored to present

the 2024 BSLA Design Awards Jury

...and please join us in welcoming guest jury chair, Adam Greenspan, FASLA.


In our new annual tradition, we are pleased to once again bring an internationally recognized landscape architecture voice to this jury -- an esteemed voice from outside of the chapter. Adam Greenspan, FASLA, is a design partner at PWP, based in Berkeley, CA. Adam's background in art and sociology, combined with years of horticultural practice, support an integrated approach to design. His work ranges broadly, including public parks, campuses, mixed-use developments, competitions, and residences, and we're grateful for the fresh perspective he brings to our community.


Please help us welcome Adam Greenspan virtually to Boston!


We are also pleased to continue another of our recent traditions: inviting a winner of last year's BSLA Design Awards for Student Work to this jury -- in this case, times two. Please join us in offering a special hello to Abigail Derek (UMass Amherst LARP '23) and Austin Sun (Harvard GSD '24), last year's Honor Award winners for student projects. And we are delighted to have two of our Fellows serve here: Michael Blier, FASLA and Michael Boucher, FASLA.


Our entire jury brings a wealth of experience and expertise in a range of practice types and approaches. This jury was selected for the variety of scales, geographies, and ways in which they work; together, they create a unique and extraordinary cross section of landscape architecture practice in our region today.


All jurors generously volunteer their time in this process.
