BDLA - Bund Deutscher Landschafsarchitekten
The Association of German Landscape Architects (Bund Deutscher Landschafsarchitekten) was founded in 1913 in Frankfurt/Main under the name of the Association of German Garden Architects and changed its name in 1972.
It has around 1300 members, among them approximately 800 landscape architects in free practice. The Association represents the interests of freelance members alongside those landscape architects who work as salaried employees or civil servants and those trainee landscape architects studying in education.Landscape design expresses the spirit of the time; it is a cultural language and involves both the conservation and reinterpretation of landscapes. Landscape architects combine ecological awareness and expertise with planning competence; they assess and prove the feasibility of plans and realise projects. They take creative responsibility for our natural reserves for the interplay of the environment with our social and built environment.
