It’s the beginning of April, which mean’s LAM’s World Landscape Architecture Month issue is here! You’ll find these stories inside:
FOREGROUND
Maintenance Matters (Office)
Maintenance is all about relationships. And money.

Pointers and pitfalls for planting trees on steep grades.
Royal Treatment (Gardens)

National Bonsai & Penjing Museum.
FEATURES
Ethic and Aesthetic
The acequia—a centuries-old irrigation technology—is ideal for stormwater management
at a New Mexico house.
Scale Factor
SWA combines beauty and security at Mexico’s University of Monterrey.
Parisian Accents
Three new parks anchor regeneration projects near the city’s periphery.
Out of Time
The past and the present merge in a new language for commemorating slavery at

THE BACK
Soft Power in Moscow
Public spaces devoid of politics are a new idea in Moscow. You could even call them revolutionary.
All this plus the regular Now and Goods columns. The full table of contents for April can be found here.
