Tromsø Waterfront Laboratory in “Landscape Architecture Europe #7 - Full of Life”

Excited and honoured that our participative art and urban space work Tromsø sjøfrontlab – in collaboration with Berit Steenstrup & Statex – is one of the selected projects for “Landscape Architecture Europe #7 - Full of Life”. 



In addition to the project presentation, the essay «Transitory Beauties – Debunk & Design» by Anaïs Leger-Smith beautifully contextualizes our approaches and explorations through Tromsø Waterfront Laboratory together with other «projects that are in between design and research, reflection and prospection, thinking and doing, performative projects, experiments, tactics – addressing the dynamic and the unstable, the heterogenic and the contradictory”:






About «Landscape Architecture Europe #7»:

“This seventh edition of the triennial book series Landscape Architecture Europe presents landscape architecture as an activity in support of life and its inherent beauty. Despite these times of social and ecological stress, this volume demonstrates how spatial design and beauty can communicate and enact concern, commitment, collaboration and change.

 

Landscape Architecture Europe #7 features 42 projects full of life, built or drawn, long-term or temporary, selected from entries submitted from all over Europe. Together with thought-provoking essays and inspiring portraits, this richly illustrated publication shows how to design for diversity and how to work with surprise and uncertainty.»
