Thematic roundtable | Cultivating continuity – one year after 23 October – 9.30 The Thematic Round Table “Landscape Design and Time” will concern the issues of making landscape, here intended in the sense of its production and its continuous transformation depending on a project, that is to say on a complex prefiguration of places, resources, spaces, nature, constructions, physical and cultural relationships, elaborated by design experts able to integrate competences on the basis of a shared vision of the future from which the actions, processes and forms of the territory derive their … [Read more...] about Landscape Design and Time

Landscape policy and governance
Thematic roundtable | Cultivating continuity – one year after 23 October – 9.30 The ELC is a matter of democracy, and its implementation calls into question spatial justice and governance from various perspectives: juridical issues (such as property rights), government and governance systems, participative procedures, planning and management practices. The diversity of European Countries institutional frameworks hinders a comparative perspective, but no doubtingly the ELC contributed in creating a baseline and a shared set of concepts and aims, influencing national systems. In addition, … [Read more...] about Landscape policy and governance
Observing Landscape
Thematic roundtable | Cultivating continuity - one year after 23 October - 9.30 If there is no landscape without an observer, in this working table we will analyse how observation can support design and planning processes in the landscape and generate new linkages between people and places. For this purpose, we will approach the systematic study of the landscape (for instance by landscape observatories) and the experiential and culturally mediated interaction between people and the environment, as opportunities to enrich landscape design, protection, management and planning. After … [Read more...] about Observing Landscape

Woods go Urban
Landscape Atelier/ Cultivating continuity one year after 23 October 2021 – 15.30 The experimental ‘Landscape Laboratory’ at SLU’s Alnarp Campus in Malmö, Sweden, has prefigured a new category of public space, the urban wood. It seems particularly apt to counter climate change, planetary urbanisation, and shrinking public funds. Its ‘landscape laboratory approach’, characterised by evolutionary design and creative management, is discussed today as model for co-producing public space. This is why this Atelier invites to look into the original Lab, to study similar projects in Europe, and to … [Read more...] about Woods go Urban
Cultivating energies: in pursuit of a new ektopy
Landscape Atelier/ Cultivating continuity one year after 23 October 2021 - 17.00 The transition towards renewable energy sources is among the grand challenges of the 21st century; renewable energy technologies require space and drive landscape change. As a result, European countries are currently confronted with two realities of the energy transition: (1) a reality where the urgency of the global energy targets focuses on a fast and cost-efficient pathway towards a zero carbon energy system, and (2) a reality of where local stakeholders stress the preservation of current landscape … [Read more...] about Cultivating energies: in pursuit of a new ektopy
