Documentary “Everything is Landscape: Register of Landscape Architecture in Portugal (Tudoé Paisagem)” by Duarte Natário, Landscape Architect from Portugal
Documentary “Everything is Landscape: Register of Landscape Architecture in Portugal (Tudo é Paisagem)” was realised Duarte Natário, Landscape Architect with the support of the Portuguese Association of Landscape Architects (APAP). The film Tudo é Paisagem is a search for the origins, projects, stories and names that have distinguished Portuguese Landscape Architecture until today.
From the first to his last reference project and through meetings, photographs and memories, Duarte Natário decided to take a journey through Landscape Architecture in an attempt to unravel the legacy of the profession in our country.
This documentary, now available online - https://vimeo.com/335892134 - premiered last year at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon and its objective is to make known to society in general the profession and its legacy and relevance in Portugal.
We believe that the message to be conveyed by this documentary can be an excellent contribution to the valuation of the profession and its intrinsic values both in Portugal and abroad.
