The NIIP is led by a team of landscape architects who, alongside engineers, scientists, and other experts, have been supporting Engineering With Nature‘s efforts to increase innovation in natural infrastructure design since 2017.
LIDL is the Landscape Infrastructure Design Lab at Auburn University. We conduct design research using landscape architectural methods to advance the design, planning and management of nature-based infrastructure.
