Situated within the remains of a former warehouse, the design accepts the given conditions—the weathered walls, industrial remnants, and raw materiality—as active participants in the emerging landscape. Porch House demonstrates a productive position for small-scale landscape interventions: embracing incompleteness, cultivating hybrid conditions, and staging the possibility for future ecological and spatial complexity to unfold. - from the award statements]]> Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen by STED https://landezine.com/steno-diabetes-center-copenhagen-by-sted/ https://landezine.com/steno-diabetes-center-copenhagen-by-sted/#respond Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:32:03 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=123621 The jury recognized the highly elaborate planting of this medical facility as an outstanding example of therapeutic outdoor space. The landscape offers so much detail that it seems it wishes to captivates attention, steering it, at least for a moment, from health issues to the plants and meticulous design. But it is more than a distraction, it promotes open-air activities and open-ended occupation. This way, landscape becomes involved as an agent in the healing process. Though the therapeutic potential of gardens is widely acknowledged, such spaces are frequently marginalised within medical institutions—subordinated to hygienic protocols, risk management, and operational pragmatics. This project counters that tendency, demonstrating that even within the tightly regulated environment of a hospital, landscape can be afforded a meaningful presence. Here, architecture does not merely accommodate its outdoor counterpart, but enters into a deliberate and composed dialogue with it. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/steno-diabetes-center-copenhagen-by-sted/feed/ 0 16&17 October / New Urban Landscapes – 36th IFLA Europe Conference https://landezine.com/1617-october-new-urban-landscapes-36th-ifla-europe-conference/ https://landezine.com/1617-october-new-urban-landscapes-36th-ifla-europe-conference/#respond Mon, 01 Sep 2025 10:30:42 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=123406 The Belgian Association of Landscape Architects and IFLA Europe organise an essential conference that will gather 300+ landscape architects, urban thinkers and policymakers to explore how cities can be regenerated into sustainable, inclusive and beautiful places, fully aligned with New European Bauhaus values.

In contrast, the wall developed by ChartierDalix articulates a system that is both more resource-efficient and more attuned to local ecological conditions. It eliminates the dependence on plastic and synthetic media, reduces infrastructural complexity, and minimizes the continuous consumption of energy and water that typifies commercial vertical greening solutions. Yet its significance lies not only in these optimizations. ChartierDalix’s approach constitutes a deeper, more radical reorientation: it does not merely refine the existing paradigm but challenges its underlying premises. Rather than fabricating a controlled vegetal surface, the system establishes conditions for life to self-organize—allowing native and site-adapted species to colonize, stabilize, and evolve over time. In doing so, the wall ceases to function as a decorative skin and becomes an operative ecological interface—an inhabited vertical ground. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/new-headquarters-of-the-ap-hp-by-chartierdalix/feed/ 0 Innovation Meets Sustainability: Solar Workstations https://landezine.com/archatrak-recommendation-innovation-meets-sustainability-solar-workstations/ https://landezine.com/archatrak-recommendation-innovation-meets-sustainability-solar-workstations/#respond Wed, 27 Aug 2025 13:09:17 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=123160 What are solar workstations?

The jury recognized in this commercial garden a unique and immersive spatial condition—simultaneously dazzling and disorienting—where porosity becomes both formal strategy and conceptual proposition. Through a disciplined yet playful language of white planes, transparent enclosures, and reflective surfaces, the architecture orchestrates a complex interplay of enclosure and exposure. Vegetation threads through and around these spatial fragments, establishing a continuous exchange between built form and lush planting.

Yet it is an intervention in landscape that stands as a provocative inquiry into the status of abandoned plots embedded within the urban fabric. The project poses fundamental questions: is a site truly ‘neglected’ if a thriving biotope has already taken hold? Could such a space, in its self-organized vitality, already constitute a form of an urban park? How to organize the social dimension? Krater unfolds as an expedition into landscape itself—an open-ended investigation in which fragmented architectural elements function as instruments of observation, experiment, and reflection. The site operates as a living laboratory, challenging conventional practices of open space production and the disciplinary boundaries of landscape architecture. It addresses relevant uncertainties the Anthropocene entails, engaging critically with issues of multi-species coexistence and the contested notion of environmental harmonization. At a time when landscape architecture often seeks to simulate nature through aesthetic approximation or even mimicry, Krater seems oblivious to such representational impulses. Its proposition is radical in its restraint: rather than imposing form, it frames this ‘third landscape’ as a space of ecological processes, social encounter and experiment, revealing alternative logics of co-inhabitation, agency and design—logics that may become increasingly relevant as landscape architecture confronts its own ecological, ethical and epistemological limits. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/krater-ljubljana-creative-laboratory-in-a-construction-pit-by-krater-collective/feed/ 0 Master of Landscape Architecture https://landezine.com/master-of-landscape-architecture-tu-delft/ https://landezine.com/master-of-landscape-architecture-tu-delft/#respond Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:11:04 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=104728 Situated within TU Delft’s Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, you learn to see the landscape as a contextual underlay for understanding, ordering and acting in spatial transformations.

It shows how to effortlessly tackle a typology well known to European cities. The central ‘plaza under the trees’ remains open and unburdened — a space left deliberately undefined, capable of hosting a multiplicity of uses and adapting to unforeseen futures. Subtle adjustments amplify its everyday functionality: a simple asphalt surface and path extend the spatial affordances for children’s play, while vegetated edges articulate an outdoor room, buffered from adjacent car traffic. The jury recognized in this approach echoes of mottos such as ‘Never demolish, always add,’ associated with the work of Lacaton & Vassal — where social utility and economic pragmatism form the political ground for design action. Winkelriedplatz thus presents itself as public space in its most essential form: adaptive, accessible, and restrained. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/winkelriedplatz-by-frl/feed/ 0 Hudson River Park’s Gansevoort Peninsula by Field Operations https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/ https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/#respond Mon, 28 Jul 2025 04:25:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122213 Gansevoort Peninsula exemplifies a sophisticated effort in programmatic stacking—a compositional strategy frequently employed in the design of American public parks in dense cities. The project assembles a complex sequence of functions: viewpoints, ecological zones, rain garden, an outdoor gym, a dog park, promenades, boardwalks, sports field, a beach, art installation, grove, and the obligatory nod to the picturesque. In dialogue with its flamboyant neighbor, Little Island, the Gansevoort Peninsula establishes itself as a rational, programme based group of high-resolution spaces, an urban interface for a long list of activities. Amidst this surgically orchestrated layering, one particular zone destabilizes the otherwise expected typologies and ambiences. It is by the southern edge, where the Upland Sandy Bluff meets a sequence of descending hardscape platforms—both steps and terraces—that slide into the Hudson River, allowing visitors to engage directly with the water’s edge. This gesture produces a more abstract encounter. As the tide advances and recedes, water interacts with the horizontal planes, generating an ever-shifting dialogue between solidity and liquidity, stability and flux. Suspended above this tidal choreography is David Hammons’ Whitney-commissioned sculpture »Day’s End«, where the presence of the artwork underlines the absence of its artistic and historic references – a demolished warehouse that hosted Gordon Matta-Clark’s artwork of the same name. Its minimal geometry enhances the surrounding emptiness, allowing history, interpretation, and meaning to remain unresolved. In this moment, Gansevoort Peninsula transcends its functional inventory and opens into a space of heightened ambiguity—a site where natural processes, bodily presence, and cultural memory are held in delicate suspension. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/feed/ 0 Gulbenkian Foundation Garden Extension by VDLA https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/ https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/#respond Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:14:05 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122174 The jury awarded the LILA Landscape and Architecture Award to the Gulbenkian Foundation Garden Extension by VDLA and Kengo Kuma. The project is remarkable for its interplay between old and new: between existing architecture and new interventions, between the formal garden and the more fluid, confidently shaped new spaces. These new spaces may even subtly reference traditional Portuguese paving, such as the iconic Rossio square, often mistakenly attributed to Burle Marx. What stands out is how the design engages with its historical context. It compresses over six decades of evolving design attitudes into a layered and ambiguous experience—one that invites theoretical inquiry. The new garden challenges modernist dichotomies: it appears porous, operating as a membrane between the built and the grown, between past metanarratives and emerging ecological uncertainties. The new roof structure plays an important role, complementing the dynamism and lushness of the garden—its lightness challenges the monumentality of the existing museum building. The design is a subtle dialogue machine. Everything is in flux, and the strength of this project lies precisely here—not in resolving tensions, but in sustaining and enhancing them. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/feed/ 0 The Revitalization of Marina Palamós https://landezine.com/urbidermis-recommendation-the-revitalization-of-marina-palamos/ https://landezine.com/urbidermis-recommendation-the-revitalization-of-marina-palamos/#respond Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:31:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=121610 Previously renovated in 2005, Marina Palamós is undergoing a profound and ambitious transformation, aimed at considerably enriching the port’s coastal heritage and the quality of its landscape.

It is precisely the abstract dimension of the playground, these unique specifics, that separate the playscape from strictly catalogue-based playgrounds and contribute to children’s emancipation and development. In doing so, it affirms play as a creative, cognitive, and social practice—contributing to children’s emancipation from rigid, predefined systems of interaction. The result is an outstanding playscape, both ecological due to adaptive reuse and socially fulfilling. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/transforming-the-aproz-wastewater-treatment-system-into-a-playground-by-en-dehors/feed/ 0 Greening of Flagey and Sainte-Croix Squares – Brussels by Kollektif and Fallow https://landezine.com/greening-of-flagey-and-sainte-croix-squares-brussels-by-kollektif-and-fallow/ https://landezine.com/greening-of-flagey-and-sainte-croix-squares-brussels-by-kollektif-and-fallow/#respond Mon, 14 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=121834 Place Flagey presents a thoughtful adaptation of an urban square originally designed by Latz + Partner in 2007, situated above an underground parking facility, and updated in 2025 by Kollektif Landscape. The jury recognized the recent intervention as a model for how existing urban surfaces can be recalibrated in response to the escalating demands of climate resiliency. The insertion of new vegetation is both precise and strategic. Without compromising the square’s existing programmatic flexibility—allowing for fairs, markets, and public events—, and in a constrained setting on top of an underground parking, the designers have introduced biodiversity, microclimatic benefits, and shaded refuges along its periphery. Although the adaptation subtly shifts the atmosphere of the square, it remains in a respectful dialogue with the original design by Latz + Partner. The result is neither an erasure nor an overstatement, but rather a measured augmentation: a restrained, site-specific calibration that addresses the needs of a changing urban climate without abandoning the integrity of the inherited spatial identity. The jury regarded the project not only as a recognition of the design itself, but also of the progressive stance taken by the commissioning city authorities—an approach that seeks quality in frugal and incremental processes. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/greening-of-flagey-and-sainte-croix-squares-brussels-by-kollektif-and-fallow/feed/ 0 ASLA 2025 Awards: Celebrating Expanding Ethos https://landezine.com/asla-2025-awards-celebrating-expanding-ethos/ https://landezine.com/asla-2025-awards-celebrating-expanding-ethos/#respond Sun, 13 Jul 2025 19:37:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122016 The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced its 2025 Honours, recognising leading figures who are shaping the profession’s future across practice, academia, community engagement, and ecological stewardship.

Parco della Pace offers a complex interplay of geometries—traces of the former runway, the rigid grids of adjacent military grounds, and the superimposed logic of new water systems—generating a distinct spatial language that remains legible at multiple scales. What distinguishes this project is its unapologetic embrace of scale, engineering, and earthworks, yet without sacrificing ecological subtlety. The site functions as a large-scale detention basin, integrating hydrological processes into a resilient landscape capable of absorbing and slowly releasing floodwaters. Water becomes both technical infrastructure and ecological mediator, generating new habitat edges and transitional ecotones that allow species to recolonize this former infrastructural void. Beyond its technical accomplishments, Parco della Pace also offers a productive ambiguity between program and process. Today, it offers a base that is generous, extensive, and resolutely territorial in scale. In time, it will negotiate between the formal and the open-ended, between cultural programming and wilderness zones left to self-organisation. The project resists the impulse for total scripting, instead establishing a layered framework that will evolve across ecological time. In this sense, the park presents a form of engineered openness, where large-scale interventions initiate processes whose full resolution remains necessarily incomplete. – from the LILA Jury statements]]> https://landezine.com/parco-della-pace-by-pan-associati-and-emf-estudi-marti-franch/feed/ 0 Bidadari Park by Henning Larsen https://landezine.com/bidadari-park-by-henning-larsen/ https://landezine.com/bidadari-park-by-henning-larsen/#respond Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:20:16 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=120618 Once a cemetery, now a cherished woodland, Bidadari Park stands as a powerful testament to how thoughtful landscape design, architectural sensitivity and innovative engineering can converge to honour heritage while nurturing ecological vitality.

It is conceived as a public space whose primary function is ecological, where human presence is invited yet not prioritized. Through a subtle modulation of topography, the park amplifies the temporal rhythms of tidal fluctuations, transforming a gently graded surface into a dynamic substrate for biodiversity and spontaneous development. While introducing softness to the pragmatism of an urban harbour environment, the design employs a sober formal language – orthogonal gabions and descending stair-like structures serve as deliberate counterpoints to the unpredictability and apparent disorder of non-human life processes. In this clear interplay between geometric precision and biological contingency, the park stages an ongoing negotiation between control and emergence, order and flux. It becomes not only a site of encounter but also a quiet manifesto on the coexistence of human intention and ecological autonomy. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/tidal-park-keilehaven-by-de-urbanisten/feed/ 0 Office Profile: De Urbanisten https://landezine.com/office-profile-de-urbanisten/ https://landezine.com/office-profile-de-urbanisten/#respond Mon, 09 Jun 2025 06:52:42 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=120818 A dedicated team De Urbanisten is a renowned office for urban design and landscape architecture based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
