A new IFLA Europe landscape architecture student competition has been launched. We suggest to take part of it for all our students and graduates.

IFLA Europe launched its 2022 Students and Young Professionals’ Competition ‘Boldness & Beauty’!

IFLA Europe organises its annual Student and Young Professionals' competition in order to provide landscape architecture students and young landscape architects professionals an opportunity to present their work, vision and projects they work on. The competition aims to help landscape architecture students and young professionals to get promotion for their projects and work.

Competition is open to any European landscape architect student enrolled in European Landscape Architecture programme or a professional under the age of 35 who is a member of any of the IFLA Europe National Associations.

Why Boldness & Beauty?

Boldness
By raising the profile of the debate, we see that taking on a socially significant expert role requires courage and responsibility. Until now, the formation of our profession has required taking bold action, and now there is a greater need for action than ever before. It is time for Landscape Architects to take on a leading role in the development of the landscape. We ask, under what conditions can we, as Landscape Architects, act more boldly at this moment, and by what means will we redeem this mandate? How can each of us act boldly in our own work and how do we see our own responsibility in our actions?

Beauty
Aesthetics is one of the cornerstones of landscape architecture. There are now numerous new themes on the design table to solve and coordinate. For this reason, it is timely to ask what is the role of beauty and aesthetics in landscape architecture. The skill of our profession to create beauty undoubtedly adds value to projects, but how can we make better use of this expertise? What is the value of beauty in a world of change and crisis?

Boldness and Beauty
By bringing these two themes together, we want to launch an internal identity debate within the profession. Can these boldness and beauty together form the guiding themes for the design of the urban landscape of the 21st century? Through what examples, design projects, and actions can these themes be defined in landscape architecture? Will one come before the other, or are boldness and beauty prerequisites for each other?
