TIME:SPACE Project

 SHOW YOUR STUFF! 

This publication is the culmination of our Chapter’s three year investment in the TIME:SPACE Project.  In anticipation of the 2010 ASLA National Meeting that will be held in Washington, DC, the Chapter has sponsored multiple events to discuss landscape architecture with the Elders, Principals and Students of the National Capital Area. The TIME:SPACE Project will be the first-ever published record of people, history and places representing the past, present and future of the Potomac Chapter, as chronicled by past professional and current student works and oral histories. Additionally, the TIME:SPACE Project will be a record of the best work by contemporary members of the Potomac Chapter.  The publication will be distributed at the National Meeting as a resource for attendees, and thereafter will be regionally distributed. 

Participation in the publication is open to all Potomac Chapter Members. Private firms, public agencies, and institutional entities are encouraged to support the project by purchasing pages in the publication to showcase their best work and achievements throughout the National Capital Area. A two page spread can be purchased for $1,500. Additional two page spreads can be purchased for $1,250 each. Purchases for the publication can be submitted via check and included with your CD submission. The deadline for submissions and payment is January 15, 2010. Checks should be made payable to:
