The aim of the symposium is to connect historical archives with contemporary debates on the role of landscape architects in a time of crisis. The symposium addresses the idea of ‘Environment’s Healer’ from a diverse perspective, and triggers the debate on the LA profession today and in the future.

The thematic background is written from the 13th IFLA Congress in Brussels in 1972, which had the title The gardener of the Earth is the environment's healer. At that time, the Norwegian landscape architect Olav Aspesæter, who then worked at NMBU, was IFLA's president (1970-1974). The invited speakers of this symposium will address the role of landscape architects from diverse perspectives.

Free admittance, but registration required, for both physical and online attendance. Please also note that the event will be recorded.
