The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF), recently announced the curator and jury that will select the 2025 winner of the Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize; the laureate will receive a U.S.$100,000 award and their work will be the focus of two years of public engagement activities. The 2025 Oberlander Prize laureate will be announced on October 14, 2025. Elizabeth Mossop, Dean of the University of Technology Sydney School of Design, Architecture and Building in Australia, succeeds John Beardsley as the Oberlander Prize Curator (Mossop was the 2023 Oberlander Prize Jury Chair).
The seven-member Oberlander Prize Jury includes leading landscape architects, urban planners, architects, academics, and other experts from around the world: Jury Chair, Claire Agre (United States); Arthur Adeya (Kenya); Kristen Bauer (Australia); Ellen Braae (Denmark); Margarita Jover (Spain, United States); Sameep Padora (India); and Dorothy Tang (Singapore). The jury was invited by Oberlander Prize Curator Mossop in consultation with former Oberlander Prize Curator John Beardsley.
The biennial Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Prize was established in 2019 by TCLF and is the only global landscape architecture prize that includes a U.S.$100,000 award and two years of public engagement activities. The inaugural laureate, the American landscape architect Julie Bargmann, was announced in 2021; the second laureate, the Beijing-based landscape architect Kongjian Yu, was announced in 2023. The principal goal of the Oberlander Prize is to elevate the art and profession of landscape architecture. The New York Times has called the prize’s namesake, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander (1921-2021), the “grande dame” of landscape architecture.
