Innovation and creating smarter, more efficient workflows for companies is not a new way of thinking. Landscape architects are now mainly desk-based, and their output is largely created digitally, creating a need for software to communicate our ideas effectively and efficiently. As a result, software packages are becoming increasingly complex, so having the ability to innovate on the software used each day and having the people to support and facilitate this is more important than ever.
Landscape architects need to be at the forefront of new research and ever-increasing data availability, software advances, and new policies that affect our work. Equally, the software needs to be proactive and dynamic in responding to this.
This presentation will highlight some of the key innovations and collaborations to date and those ambitions for the future development of the software, demonstrating the ever-increasing importance of partnership between practitioner and software.
