The Biennial Symposium entitled “A landscape for you”, focuses on the social component for a new way of planning and designing in Landscape Architecture. It wants to deepen on public participation and spatial appropriation of landscape, considering both its processes and its materialization. Barcelona will open itself to international landscape architecture in a symposium adapted to contemporary circumstances. For three days there will be lectures, presentations of the finalists of the Rosa Barba International Landscape Prize, keynotes speakers and roundtables. As it was the case of last Biennial, Topos is the media partner and will be involved in the organization of the conference.
