Sustainability and technology are mutually supportive principles in landscape design. Technological resources applied thoughtfully in construction, equipment, energy consumer infrastructure, gardening, lighting etc. play the key role to a sustainable and environmental friendly outcome. High technology tools, appliances or constructions for landscape architecture projects are manufactured of recyclable or biodegradable materials, consume energy from renewable sources and, generally, have a reduced environmental footprint. Using the right irrigation and water recycling technology, smart light fixtures and other design solutions that do not burden, but support sustainability can result in a modern but also sustainable and viable outcome.

When using technology, it depends on how and when you apply it. Cutting-edge technology can help you maintain sustainability principles. For example, when managing water consumption in landscape design, you can use advanced technologies, such as automated irrigation systems, tailored to the specific water needs of different plant groups. If you're incorporating solar panels into your design, you need to select panels that align with your goals. You just need to use your creativity in landscape design and apply innovative methods to integrate cutting-edge technologies seamlessly into the landscape. By using these technologies strategically, you can ensure both efficiency and sustainability in your project.

I believe that to achieve sustainable goals, one must adopt smart technology and integrate it into the design from day one. Technologies such as: a) Smart irrigation systems that efficiently manage water usage b) Green roofs and solar panels to create multifunctional landscapes c) Energy-efficient lighting to save both cost and energy d) Biodiversity supported by data-driven solutions e) Public engagement through technology and apps, for example, "track the growth of your tree from your office desk"
