5th European Landscape Biennial

The European Landscape Biennial will be held in Barcelona from the 25th to the 27th of September. The fifth edition of the event – 'Storm and Stress' – is organised by the Professional Association of Architects of Catalonia (COAC), the Masters Programme in Landscape Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, the Association of Friends of UPC, and the Government of Catalonia’s Department of Territorial Policy.

The aim of the biennial is to facilitate exploration and discussion on the subject of landscape intervention from the perspective of landscape architecture and other disciplines linked to the study and evolution of this field.

The biennial has become a key event for landscape design in Europe. The three-day symposium will include talks, presentations by finalists competing for the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize, papers, roundtable discussions and exhibitions. These activities will enable participants to track and discuss the evolution of landscape design in Europe.

A novel aspect of the fifth edition of the biennial is the fact that a country from outside Europe, namely the United States, has been invited to take part. The involvement of US participants will facilitate exploration of other landscape experiences.

On the first day of the symposium presentations will be made by the finalists competing for the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize. The second day will be devoted to discussions involving landscape theorists and designers, and day three will focus on discussion of a specific territory of interest, with the aim of analysing and discussing its development. This year the spotlight will be on the United States.
