The garden of the Earth - Showing attitude for a climate-appropriate landscape architecture
The consequences of climate change and the urgent need for mitigation are the greatest challenges of the present. Climate adaptation and climate protection are the buzzwords.
Landscape architecture excels in mastering such complex tasks: Landscape architects design open spaces under the aspects of climate adaptation and biodiversity and thus create outstanding and valuable open spaces.
The profession’s goal must still be to further increase the weight of landscape architecture within the design professions, the “green” professions and in society.
“The quality of open spaces in urban and rural areas in terms of sustainability, value, resource conservation and biodiveristy is of particular importance in the context of building”
Prof Stephan Lenzen
