The 11th International Landscape Biennial of Barcelona, by Fundació Banc Sabadell has as its motto "Climate Change Again: City and Nature", as a proposal to reflect and show tools and initiatives carried out to face - from landscaping, science, activism or from other approaches to the territory - the problem of climate change, in relation to the global crisis that endangers our ecosystems. The Biennial proposes a set of approaches in this scenario, but from different points of view: landscape, anthropological and social, biological, etc.
For the first time, IFLA (International Federation of Landscape Architecs) joins with Biennial to offer two more mentions for professional and school participants. These awards answer to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations (UN). They strive to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and guarantee the posterity of all.
The community is one of the most important pillars of the Barcelona International Landscape Biennial. For this reason, during the symposium, all attendees have the opportunity to award whichever they think is the best out of the finalist projects presented during the Symposium.
This recognition provides the professionals, academic world, organizations and people involved with landscape architecture and with another critical perspective of professional practices around the world.
The International Landscape Architecture Schools Prize is part of the edition of the International Landscape Biennial of Barcelona corresponding. The appeal for submission of the five best projects of each landscape school done for the students has a unique prize and an economic endowment of 1500 euros delivered during the celebration of the Symposium. The winner and finalists presented their projects during the Symposium and at UPC Barcelona TECH. In our web, we will publish the projects selected by the International Jury.
The Rosa Barba Casanovas International Landscape Architecture Prize is a chance for authors of landscape projects to present their works. They represent the best practices professionals internationally. The name of Rosa Barba Prize is a homage to the founder of the International Landscape Biennial, who died young the year after creating the event.
