Description
The theme that the competition entries must respond to is Green infrastructure: landscape, infrastructure and people for tomorrow.
This competition challenges students of landscape architecture to explore the IFLA World Congress theme of sustainability in landscape through new visions for the future. We invite participants to select a site that challenges the concept of sustainability and to develop designs which investigate, interrogate, challenge and propose sustainable options to the site conditions. The design proposals should also reveal something about the social, cultural, economic and/or political conditions related to the site’s context, and that convey them through technologies, approaches and esthetics.
Some examples of specific topics that might be explored through the submissions include:
- brownfield recovery
- urban water bodies
- storm water management
- alternative sewage treatment
- climate change and landscape design
- informal urban neighborhood improvements
Jury
The panel of judges will consist of 3 to 5 members from IFLA and the local organizing committee, or their appointees.
