Summary

How might different knowledge systems interweave without losing their distinctiveness? In a Government funded project on the Horowhenua in Aotearoa New Zealand, Penny Allan, Huhana Smith and Martin Bryant, accompanied by iwi and hapu from the Kuku Community north of Wellington, considered a future that embodies Māori knowledge, the science of climate change, ecological thinking and the practices of design and art. Their project, in ancestral lands that are subject to destruction by current dairy farming practices and future climate change impacts, has been the subject of a number of publications and exhibitions. In this discussion they will expand on the potential for aligning methodologies to enhance the resilience of the land and its people.

Summary

The goals for sustainable development, particularly ecological sustainability, are of high importance to landscape construction. Construction interferes with natural processes: the water cycle, soil, areas of vegetation, etc., all crucial factors in terms of ecosystem services. The aim for sustainable landscape construction should be to cherish the vitality and continuity of these processes. In addition, social sustainability is emphasised in operating principles that concern human health and wellbeing as well as economic sustainability in the use of raw materials and energy-saving. This lecture explores the operating model associated with environmental construction and by following sustainable development goals. It explores that through different themes: 1) Water conditions, 2) Soil and vegetation, 3) Raw materials and products, 4) Energy-saving, air quality and environmental protection, and 5) Health and wellbeing. Different stages of project implementation will be addressed by logging the operating principles of order, design, construction and maintenance. The lecture also introduces the Sustainable Landscape Construction Model (KESY) presented in 2015 by the Finnish Association of Landscape Industries, which considers what the objectives are for sustainable development in the green sector and how they can be achieved. This operating model has been introduced in practical guidelines to the professional field of landscape industries in Finland since 2018.

Summary

This lecture focuses on the migratory pressures of the Mediterranean region that currently are exacerbating inequalities, undermining human rights, and environmental justice. At the end of 2019, 79.5 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide. Nearly 50 million of them are internally displaced while 73% are hosted in neighbouring countries, with the majority of the world’s refugees (85%) hosted by developing countries. Lebanon is host to nearly 1.2 million Syrian refugees, representing around a quarter of the country’s total population. The transformation we are witnessing in the last decades is leading to a societal shift and to the production of entirely new landscapes in which old and new narratives and memories are mixed up.  This lecture questions the role of landscape design in envisioning scenarios at varying scales and phases of intervention to address social and environmental emergencies. The work presented acknowledges those challenges, focusing on defining liminal paths between humanitarian design, right to shared landscapes, and wellbeing of communities. The lecture also explores the work of the Landscape Architects Without Borders (LAWB) of the International Federation of Landscape Architects, committed to working with vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, especially those affected by war, conflict and natural disaster, helping them to re-create safe, sustainable and dignified living conditions.

Summary

This lecture looks into the phenomenon of floods as recurrent urban events which are expected to aggravate in the near future. Facing this problem, the design of public spaces is presented as a key component in the adaptation to current and expected urban flood events. In addition, climate change adaptation endeavours have already entered the urban agenda and are influencing urban planning and public space design approaches. This emerging tendency is further prompting new flood management paradigms that acknowledge the practice of integrating ecosystems and the natural water cycle. “Public Spaces for Water: A Design Notebook” displays a different approach to tackle the urgent problem of urban flooding. In this lecture, the importance of public space design in adaptation action is explored and traditional flood risk management practices are challenged. As public spaces provide the opportunity to integrate and reveal the complex connections between natural, social and technical processes, designing “for water” is a present and urgent matter on which the future of our cities relies.

Abstract

This lecture will look at the practice of designing public space from an experiential perspective. From the traditional design practice that sets its design production in a certain distant and "controlled" process by the designer, to the integration of exploratory approaches such as the living lab approach to envision the open space as a laboratory of public life, or social innovation, as an innovation practice to pursue the social needs of the space beyond its sole formal resolution. Within this context, it is also an exploration of the practice that departs from the "expert" posture to going out into the field to understand people's experiences and allow the voice of the collective intelligence to be an active actor in a co-creation process. The presentation explores how emerging public space is at the core of public life when using open/ derelict spaces, such as "urban vacant lots", as territories of "new possibles", as spaces of temporality that have meaning allowing for citizen participation. It will share both project interventions, the hard design, as well as the design process, soft design, to explore what makes people happy, or rather what spaces create a connection for people to first use it, then take ownership, and ultimately transform it as need it or experience it.

Abstract

Urban green infrastructure as a holistic green-space system on one hand and as a planning and design approach on the other hand has gone a long way since Howard's Garden Cities of Tomorrow or Olmsted's Parkways. Today, Green Infrastructure is one of the main environmental and landscape strategies of the European Union, which is currently also supported through the European Green Deal and the new European Union (EU) Biodiversity Strategy. Indeed, green infrastructure is an effective planning and design tool for landscape architects and urban designers to make our cities more sustainable and resilient in the field of climate change mitigation, biodiversity enhancement and food security. The lecture will provide a short historical excursus to the origins of planning urban green systems, an overview of current EU policies in this field and show innovative planning and design strategies and nature-based solutions of green infrastructure in European Cities.

Abstract

This lecture will look at sustainable transport systems and the considerable impact on the landscape as a result of the building and management of roads and railways. Therefore, a holistic approach to the resources, values and change processes of the landscape has become an increasingly important issue. Understanding the landscape as an arena is an important basis and starting point for both long term strategic planning and in continuing spatial planning. Drawing from the Swedish experience over the last seven years, this lecture will discuss an interdisciplinarity methodology by providing a toolkit to obtain a holistic understanding of the dynamics of the landscape. This methodology is now used in big and costly pending infrastructure projects such as high-speed railways in Sweden. Emily will describe a method for Integrated Landscape Character Assessment that can be used in long term planning.

Abstract

Beyond the natural landscape’s crucial role in shaping our territorial identity, it also makes up a big share of our cultural and ecological heritage. Within this, urban public space is what helps our city’s natural endowments shine. Urban public spaces have their own, unique spatial structures and ecosystems, and should therefore come equipped with eco-systemic provisions, regulations and public and cultural services; all of which boost civic solidarity, equality and culture; and, in turn, lead to fluent public/private relations and better human health—both physical and emotional.

This lecture looks at the effects of globalization in finding efficient, replicable and swift solutions that can be set in motion as fast as the world’s urban centres are growing; however, these tend to homogenize the urban landscape. Eco-urbanism and Green Infrastructure are two visions that endeavour to better contextualize urban ecology in a holistic and inclusive way. Climate change tests our resilience when confronting natural disasters; hence, nature-based solutions prioritize healthy ecosystems as the best means available to face the future. Eco-urbanism and Green Infrastructure-based solutions will succeed if backed by new, local, nature-based urban initiatives built on designs and approaches that aim to bring society together on the issues of how best to consume water, air, food; regulate temperature and provide rest and recreation for all of its members.
