Academia Landscape Design Studio

Academia is a forward-thinking landscape architecture firm at the intersection of ecological design and smart technology. With a core mission to harmonize natural systems and technological innovation, Akademia has evolved into an emerging producer of IoT-based smart irrigation systems that address pressing urban sustainability challenges.

Our flagship solution is an intelligent irrigation system equipped with integrated soil moisture sensors, weather data inputs, and plant-specific calibration. This system uses real-time environmental feedback to automatically and adaptively manage water delivery, ensuring optimal hydration levels for diverse plant species across varying conditions. The result is not only significant water savings, but also enhanced landscape vitality, reduced manual labor costs, and a measurable reduction in ecological footprint—all essential components of a circular and regenerative urban future.

In addition to our core IoT system, we are actively developing a suite of complementary tools and design solutions aimed at supporting modular green infrastructure. These include scalable, prefabricated landscape components, plant behavior analytics platforms, and digitally supported maintenance models. Our work embraces the “research-through-application” method, often operating as a living lab within our own projects and test sites. This approach allows us to validate real-world performance, engage stakeholders in feedback loops, and accelerate innovation with scientific and practical rigor.

Our technology is applicable to a wide range of urban settings—from residential and commercial landscapes to university campuses, tech parks, and municipal green corridors. Through these applications, we are not only enhancing aesthetic and ecological value but also contributing to the transformation of green infrastructure into intelligent, resource-efficient systems aligned with the principles of the circular economy.
