L&A TEAM
L&A has a distinguished international design team, including established planners and designers from all over the world.
L&A emphasizes highly on the importance of a creative and learning environment. The firm has thus designed a comprehensive training system that all staff can benefit.
The system includes weekly class on design, on technical skills such as case introduction and analysis, working drawing design, and planting design on a frequent basis.
In our bilingual work environment, both Chinese staff and the foreign staff have chance to practice their foreign languages.
The firm also organizes site trip every month so that designers can go visit the site and park projects- a practice we believed an indispensable part for creating best design and fostering best designers.
The firm has also plenty of benefits for after-work programs, i.e. a travel allowance program which provides support for designers to go abroad and to other parts of China on a yearly basis to encourage the designers to experience and learn from real sites. We also have birthday party every month, weekend sports for staff to relax.
