Landscape Middle East Magazine - February 2026

In this issue

This month’s issue brings together voices and projects that challenge us to look beyond surface narratives and examine the real foundations of landscape practice.
In Designing with Depth, we revisit the core discipline of landscape architecture and the technical, scientific, and ethical rigour that underpins it . It is a reminder that landscape is not a finishing touch—it is infrastructure, ecology, and long-term stewardship combined. That theme continues in Pride in the Finish, where Arun Titus reflects on the craft of construction and the quiet satisfaction of walking a completed project end to end . Design intent only matters if it can be delivered with precision.
Elsewhere, this issue stretches our perspective globally. From airborne wind energy and its evolving relationship with visual impact and terrain , to Phillip Dunn’s candid reflections on lived sustainability and reconnecting communities to nature , the message is consistent: innovation must be grounded in responsibility.
We explore regeneration at continental scale through Generation R , celebrate landscape-led waterfront transformation in Perth , and highlight both emerging studios and major biodiversity milestones closer to home . Even global mergers in planning and design speak to a collective ambition to shape more resilient cities .
Across every article, one thread is clear: landscape today is not decorative. It is decisive.
