In an era of climate adaptation and technological transformation, landscape architects are increasingly called upon to deliver resilient, sustainable, and circular solutions. This session will explore how consistent information management is the cornerstone of these efforts, empowering landscape architects to make informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of their projects and contribute to the entire information lifecycle of the built environment.

We will examine the critical roles of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in integrating landscape architecture with broader urban systems, breaking down silos and fostering collaboration across disciplines. The session will also introduce digital twins, dynamic data-driven virtual replicas of physical environment, demonstrate their potential to model, monitor, and optimize urban landscapes in real-time.

Finally, as AI-driven tools become more prevalent in design processes, their effectiveness hinges on access to reliable, well-managed data. Attendees will learn how consistent information management enhances decision-making across the lifecycle of landscape projects, the role of BIM and GIS in integrating landscape architecture with broader urban systems, and circularity, depends on the ability to track and reuse resources efficiently.

Discover how landscape architects can increase the value chain of information about the built environment.
