51th IFLA WORLD CONGRESS - Students Competition

実在する都市の環境問題を取り上げ、ランドスケープの視点から解決策を提案する恒例学生コンペ。国際ランドスケープアーキテクト連盟が主催する国際会議プログラムの一つで、次回開催地はブエノスアイレス。

Description
The competition challenges students to explore urban landscapes: abandoned, obsolete and degraded landscapes; landscapes hurt by aggressive anthropic actions to nature and to the culture of the territory, landscapes substituted by new proposals and originated by needs, which may not have always kept the environmental balance.
They should propose new ideas sustained by “reflective thought” that will try to solve the unsustainable problems of urban landscapes in emergency; and the “action” using the most appropriate techniques to improve the management and building of a landscape of places and of new spaces of urban sustainability.
Students may select the context and site of the project. The suggested work scale is established in a range of 2 has (20.000 m2) to 10 has (100.000 m2).
Proposals must show a reflexive and innovative approach, giving value to the identity of the designed place and choosing a strategy for the project execution.

Jury
The Jury will be composed by three to five members of IFLA.
