A Webinar organized by the IFLA Education and Academic Affairs Committee, Student
Competition Working Group Chair.
Monday, November 18th, 2024. – Starting time: 9:30 a.m. (GMT)
The Landscape Architecture Education and Studio Pedagogy symposium aims to explore landscape architecture education and pedagogy today, show regional differences, and highlight the need for international dialogue to benefit the discipline. As landscape architecture programs face contemporary socio-environmental challenges regionally, they are evolving away from outdated modern standards. Furthermore, the rise of digital tools, such as GIS, AI, 3D modeling and rendering tools appropriate for landscape equip education and research with possibilities never seen before. Fostering international conversations is essential in the context of such developments. By sharing diverse perspectives and best practices, we can enrich landscape architecture education, encourage innovation and collaboration across borders, and advocate for a proper approach to landscape architecture. Indeed, regional differences play a crucial role, and they deserve not only to be nurtured but also confronted with the “others” to strengthen themselves without hindering the possibility of international mobility.
