Philosophy:
We are driven by the prospects of what design has to offer in the way of forming solutions to problems that face the world today. We are excited about the role that landscape architects can and do have in the constantly changing world and as students want to be involved in this paradigm shift.

Our aim:
Our aim is to enlighten people about the reality of landscape architecture and to expose
it in a new light. By encouraging rigorous discussion between students + professionals + academics about landscape architectural issues, we hope to provide a new voice for the profession. Xsection journal is an outlet for the integration and progression of all areas of landscape architecture.
