    We get ideas from all over. Yet the question of how we get stories into the magazine is shrouded in--if not mystery, at least bewilderment. We've recently pulled together a guide to the What, How, and Where of pitching projects and story ideas to the magazine and put it right on our blog for anyone to read. Come check out our newly published guidelines to pitching LAM, and let us know what's on your mind? bit.ly/2StynmW
    The February issue is out! The impact of Artificial Intelligence in landscape architecture is being felt in public space research, landscape conservation, and the graduate studio. The cover story by @mimizeiger “Live and Learn," examines how emerging technologies are rapidly evolving landscape design. look for it online February 12. Images by XL Lab/SWA Group
    Scenes From the uncountable hours Art Director @mcmantle and Senior Editor @jenniferxjennifer spend working through feature layouts. Figuring out how to tell the visual story in parallel with the written narrative is a bit of a dance. You don’t want the images to just illustrate the story, but to complement and extend it. A striking visual storyline should provoke as many questions as it answers.
    More peeks behind the curtain: Stalwart Managing Editor @mzacko reviews the color proofs for the February issue. If you’ve ever wondered how much lag time there was between shipping an issue and it’s publication date, the answer this month is about 21 days. By the time February hits the mailboxes, we’ll have produced the entire next issue and be prepping it for the printer.
