LA Ride
Saturday, September 26 - 12:00-5:30pm
LA Ride Detroit Month of Design CycleTour 2020 is an interactive, slow to medium-paced 12 mile loop bike ride, open to the public, where riders visit locations designed by landscape architects throughout the host city. They will hear details about the featured projects from the professionals who actually worked on them. We explore city-scapes, parks, trail systems, sustainable landscapes, school campuses, sports facilities, gardens, urban agricultural sites and historic places, all of which were designed and created by Landscape Architects. Every ride includes “Lecture Sites” and “Mini Stops” where planners, advocates, and technical staff give interactive presentations to the group. CEU’s are also available for each ride. Expect an "afterparty" and the end of the cycle tour. Proceeds from sponsorships and contributions support MiASLA scholarships, mentoring programs, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion projects – opening “On Ramps” to careers, opportunities and the future.

What is a Landscape Architect?
A professional person who plans, designs, and builds spaces that tend to complement and work with the surrounding natural environment. These places can be inside or outside, though landscape architects are usually recognized for their creative, beautiful, and functional outdoor spaces. Every landscape architect is different, too – each can have specialties in areas like stormwater management, native planting, construction detail development, green infrastructure, site adaptation, and reuse, recreation and trail design, teaching, research, master planning, ordinance preparation, and much more.
What Do Landscape Architects Do?
How Do You Become A Landscape Architect?
Landscape architecture requires at least a 4-year degree and the passing of the Landscape Architecture Registration Exam (L.A.R.E.)
Approximately 16,400 landscape architects are licensed in the United States. Licensure is required to practice in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Landscape architects analyze, plan, design, manage and nurture the built and natural environments. Landscape architects have a significant impact on communities and quality of life. They design parks, campuses, streetscapes, trails, plazas, and other projects that help define a community. The projects below show the diversity of the profession, and many of the areas landscape architects can practice design.
