INVITATION TO THE
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION
OF UNIVERSITY PROJECTS
IN THE SCHOOLS OF ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE
Since its first edition, the Barcelona European Landscape Biennial has
expressed its desire to intently study and discuss landscape interventions, from the
perspective of all disciplines that are linked to its study and evolution.
The Biennial has been consolidated on a European scale in its five previous
editions: "Remaking Landscapes" (1999), "Gardens in Arms" (2001), "Only with
Nature" (2003), "Landscape: a Product / a Production" (2006),"Storm & stress"
(2008) and "Liquid Landscape" (2010); in this seventh edition the Biennale takes us
to new realities of the world landscape.
Programa
On the 27 th, 28 th and 29 th September 2012, Barcelona will guest in some of its
most exceptional sites a landscape symposium. During these three days, the
calendar includes the presentation of the finalist projects competing for the 7th
"Rosa Barba" European Landscape Award, conferences, seminars, roundtables
and exhibitions, contributing to trace and discuss the state and the evolution of
landscape design in Europe.
The Biennial is organized by the Association of Architects of Catalonia (COAC) and
the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Master's Program in Landscape
Architecture).
One year more Barcelona will host the International Exposition of University
Projects in the Schools of Architecture and Landscape. The organizing
committee considers that the participation of the didactic works remarkably
contributes to enrich the debate on the landscaping. For such reason, we further
encourage the acceptance of our invitation to this call, promoting the most valuable
projects of your school.
It is in our best interest to stress the submission of those that you consider the
most representative projects of the last two years, that summarize somehow the
work of investigation and projecting of the school.
A selection of these projects will be part of an exhibition, that will be celebrated in
the Technical School Superior of Architecture of Barcelona, from the 26th
September till the 11 th October 2012. Such as in the past the exhibition will be
visited by several European universities.
Resolution
The organizing committee of the International Exhibition of University Projects in
Schools of Architecture and Landscape, through an international jury, will award
the winning school with a prize to the best project presented. Moreover, all the
works that emphasize the treated themes and their solutions will receive a special
mention.
All the projects that will be shown in the exhibition are subject to the a selection
carried out by the organizing committee.
