@landarchitects need you to share photos of your favorite green spaces #WLAM2015

WASHINGTON, -- Landscape architects are the people responsible for designing the parks, plazas, bike trails and other green spaces that make the outdoors fun, healthy, and sustainable. If you had to pick a favorite designed green space to photograph, which would you pick? That's the question asked by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) as it launches World Landscape Architecture Month in April.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7474051-asla-world-landscape-architecture-month/

ASLA is unveiling the event--formerly National Landscape Architecture Month--in collaboration with the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). Participants will celebrate landscape architecture by engaging their communities through the #WLAM2015 social media campaign. ASLA's chapters will also introduce the profession to schools and connect with IFLA member organizations in other countries via Skype and social media.

"We're excited to celebrate landscape architecture on a global level," said Nancy Somerville, Hon. ASLA, executive vice president and CEO of ASLA. "We look forward to working with IFLA member organizations around the world and helping to develop the next generation of landscape architects."

"At a time when the globe faces major challenges caused by industrialization, urbanization, climate changes and the depletion of natural resources, World Landscape Architecture Month shines a light on our progressive profession," said Professor Kathryn Moore, IFLA president. "We are pleased that international collaboration such as this will illuminate the solutions landscape architecture offers."

Construction of an apartment block on the site of the Queens Hall in Widnes has been completed.

Denovo Design architects called it one of its most challenging housing projects to date.

Queens Court comprises 13 two-bed and four one-bed flats and was built by Forrest on behalf of Halton Housing Trust.

Before it was demolished due to fire in 2012, the sites previous occupant the Queens Hall had hosted bands including The Beatles at least five times and the Stone Roses.

Denovo Design said the apartment project had to commemorate the sites musical heritage, while also dealing with noise from late night music venues in the vicinity.

There had been fears from musicians using the nearby The Studio venue that having a residential block close by could affect its ability to host music events.

A spokeswoman for the firm added that it also needed to avoid dominating the terraced houses opposite in Lacey Street and to compensate for a lack of green space in the area, and also to mitigate potential parking and security issues.

She said the building celebrates the sites musical history and features art displaying the names of acts who performed there.

It also has guitar string style designs built into its entrance.

Denovo Design said all the apartments have special acoustic double glazed aluminium framed windows to help to reduce any external noise, and also have their own ventilation system to boost air quality.
