If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that complacency is something we can no longer afford. As landscape architects, we recognize the complex interconnectedness of planetary systems, and the dynamic relationships between people, places, and other living entities. We also recognize that we can choose the way we move forward. In a year marked by the ferocious sorrows of bushfire, Black Lives Matter, and COVID we have also been given the opportunity to pause. Land-e-Scape: Reset - towards healing invites landscape architects to collectively pause, reflect, discuss, and explore the ways our profession can contribute to what comes next. How do we heal our relationships with nature, with the places we live, work and play, and with each other?
听
Across four themes we will explore the opportunities and acknowledge the work already underway:
听
- Recuperation (Monday) - Healing from event shock including sessions on bushfires, COVID19, Rebuilding Beirut, and Landscape without borders
- Repair (Tuesday) - Healing the planet including sessions on climate change, urban green initiatives, and blue meets green
- Restore (Wednesday) - Healing spaces that allow for enhanced connection and wellbeing including sessions on biophilic landscapes in education; healing gardens, designing for health (autism, Alzheimer's), and war gardens
- Reparation (Thursday) - Healing fractured relationships including sessions on gender equity, traditional knowledge, community engagement, and opportunities for traditional owners in national parks.
