Over the past two decades, landscape architecture has confronted converging global challenges: economic instability, technological shifts, environmental urgency, and transformations in education. Unlike architecture, the discipline’s relatively small global community has consistently relied on practice as its primary mode of innovation. Theory and scholarship tend to follow, rather than precede, the inventions that emerge from practice. In this sense, making is not a “soft science,” but the primary means through which the field advances.To mark the 20th anniversary of AHO’s International Master in
Landscape Architecture, this conference brings together a generation of
European practices that have emerged during the same period in which our program has been active. Despite differences in geography and culture, these offices share a deep sensibility toward the environmental, spatial, and political questions that have defined the opening decades of this century.
Each practice will present three projects through the lens of methods characteristic of this era. In other words, they are invited to articulate what is genuinely contemporary, new, or inventive, both in terms of methods and tangible outcomes.
Running parallel to the conference, the AHO Gallery will host an exhibition of selected works from the master studio sequence, highlighting some of the program’s strongest projects from recent years. Together, the conference and exhibition aim to reflect on and critically examine the three pillars of
landscape architecture at AHO: Commons, Systems, and Form.
