LAND.SCAPE. - September 2021 Edition (02/2021)

इस अंक में

In this issue, Land.Scape delightfully presents to you the highlights of the 57th International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) 2020 World Congress and World Landscape Architects Summit. IFLA2020 was held in George Town, Penang from 18th to 22nd August 2021. The theme ‘Future Tense’ for this issue was inspired by the IFLA2020 theme itself – which enthuses us to a few spectrums such as transient living, homogenous culture and diverse population, finite resources and natural disaster and others. Transpiring from those beliefs, we bring you three glocal portfolios on the table – Kebun-Kebun Bangsar with its sustainable foodscape ideation, Gamuda Gardens with its biophilic niche in the making, as well as The Bird Wave Bridge with its clarion call to reconnect with nature. Comprehensive green urbanism and outdoor spaces as the rescue agent for the community well being during the pandemic are also discussed from the perspectives of research and education. Delving into the viewpoints of construction and technology, Land.Scape comes up with two essential matters which concern the landscape architects’ roles in plant biosecurity within Malaysian built environment as well as sustainable materials in the landscape architecture industry.
