In this episode of Land Language, hosts Brit Sastrawidjaya and Bethany Rydmark sit down with Angelique Robb, founder of SYNKD, a media platform and event series connecting landscape architects, contractors, designers, and horticulturists. They dig into the communication failures that cost design-build-maintain projects their best outcomes, two materials most US practitioners haven't encountered, and why stormwater management belongs to anyone who calls themselves a landscape professional.
