LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE EUROPE #5: care / create / act

Landscape Architecture Europe shows and reflects on 48 contemporary projects of European landscape architecture

It began with a group of ambitious professionals in the European Foundation for Landscape Architecture (EFLA, today IFLA Europe). Their desire was for landscape architecture to be recognized as an autonomous profession apart from other disciplines – with its own view of the world, its own methodology, its own concepts and expertise – that possesses a distinctively European culture.

Publishing a book every three years, the fifth edition follows up on the foundation’s first book, Fieldwork, that was published in February 2006. This process has been repeated for the fourth time, resulting in the publication of On Site (2009), In Touch (2012), On The Move (2015) and now care / create / act (2018).

This richly illustrated book offers thought-provoking texts in support of three landscape architectural approaches to the challenges of the 21st century: to care for people, places and what is already there, to create urban landscapes of new kinds, and to act and move the course of things. Among the authors are Svava Riesto from the University of Copenhagen.
