Strong services for landscape architects. Convince yourself of our offer.
The bdla supports your professional success
Take advantage of our practice-oriented conferences and seminars, up-to-date professional information and the wide range of benefits and consulting services.
We are committed to good economic conditions for our profession in politics and associations.
Benefit from the know-how of our network
The bdla specialist spokespersons and the members of the bdla working groups are active in influential specialist committees, e.g. at ministries, chambers and associations. This means that our members are informed about important technical innovations at an early stage.
Our online forums provide direct advice from colleagues on current specialist issues. Take advantage of the legal expertise of our legal advisor Dr. Sebastian Schattenfroh in the area of fees and contracts. Initial consultations are free of charge for bdla members.
Your membership pays off
A wide range of specialist information, sample contracts and planning aids are available to our members free of charge. Reduced participation fees apply for specialist conferences. The cooperation with BAMAKA AG offers freelance full members numerous purchasing benefits, from office equipment to company cars.
Freelance bdla members have the option of integrating the membership fee of their employees into their own membership fee without increasing the membership fee for the planning office. This extends the company benefits and promotes the professional development of your employees. Further information can be found here.
As a freelance member, you present yourself on the most successful platform for landscape architecture and planning office search in Germany: Our website Landschaftsarchitektur-heute.de is available to you free of charge for the presentation of your office and your projects.
As an employed member, you gain access to a strong network with exciting training courses and up-to-date industry information. Use the bdla as a platform to help shape the future of landscape architecture.
As a "thank you" for joining the bdla, you only pay 50 percent of the federal contribution for the first three years.
