ASLA elevates Stephen Whitehouse to Fellow

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has elevated Stephen Whitehouse as one of 50 ASLA Fellows in 2025. Each year, the ASLA elects a new class of Fellows for their exceptional contributions to the landscape architecture profession and society at large.

“The 2025 Class of ASLA Fellows reflects the very best of landscape architecture—visionary leaders whose work uplifts communities, restores ecosystems, and advances climate-ready design,” said ASLA President Kona Gray, FASLA, PLA.

Stephen’s 40-year career has bridged the public and private sectors. As Chief of Planning for NYC Parks, he advanced initiatives that helped transform New York into a greener city at the forefront of landscape architectural practice. As co-founder of Starr Whitehouse, he has led award-winning projects that realize the forward-thinking policies he helped to develop early in his career and made landscape architecture central to resilience and urban strategy.

ASLA Fellows will be elevated during a special investiture ceremony at the 2025 Conference on Landscape Architecture, which will be held in New Orleans Oct. 10-13. Fellow biographies are available here.
