WORKSHOP 1
Therapeutic Site Design: Lessons Learned, Lessons Shared

This workshop focuses on the fine art, and beginning science, that is
contributing to a professional understanding of effective therapeutic
site design. The intent of this workshop is to bring together both
students and practitioners who are interested in the fine art of
therapeutic site design with those who are actually shaping the work in
this specialty field. To do this, case study materials documenting some
of the research efforts and anecdotal findings surrounding the creation
and post-construction evaluation of garden areas for healing and
rehabilitation will be presented.

WORKSHOP 2
Publishing and Peer Review in Landscape Architecture
1:30 - 5 pm

The system of peer-reviewed scholarship is at the center of creating and
expanding a discipline. Realizing this, CELA sponsored and underwrote
the establishment of Landscape Journal in 1982. The Journal's intent was
to encourage “the sharing of new information and thought in the many
subject areas which support landscape design, planning and management of
the land” (Alanen and Morrison, 1982).

The editors of Landscape Journal are hosting a workshop about
contributing to landscape scholarship as both an author and a reviewer.
In this workshop you will learn:
• About the different types of articles that Landscape Journal seeks.
• How to structure your article to make the most convincing presentation
of your ideas.
• What peer-reviewers are looking for, and how to write a strong and
constructive review.
• About 100-plus journals in which landscape architecture faculty publish.
Participants will be given the opportunity to share their own experience
with peer-reviewed publishing, and strategies they have found helpful.
In conclusion, the editors will share their vision and engage the
audience in a discussion of Landscape Journal’s future scope and mission.
