IFLA Newsletter n° 85 - Competitions issue (November 2009)

In this issue we think of the achievements of the past and prospects for future growth in landscape architecture. When these achievements are presented at competitions, they enter that unusual space where expressions of the close relationships developed with clients are subjected to the most intense professional scrutiny. As Jon Bryan Burley counsels us, although not all can win a competition award, we have the potential to learn and grow in the process of trying.
In this issue we salute Bernard Lassus for the award of the 2009 Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Medal. We also acknowledge the passing away of Nava Polman - Gerson, a friend and a staunch participant in IFLA business and meetings.

IFLA Newsletter n° 84 - In search of sustainability - IFLA News Brief n° 24

IFLA Newsletter n° 84 - In search of sustainability (4th of October 2009)- Available online!

Whatever the approach in our articles and in the wealth of perspectives in presentations to be shown in Rio de Janeiro, we landscape architects have a duty to our clients, to the people who are affected by our designs and to biodiversity itself, to act as stewards of landscapes. Our duty is to conserve and enhance landscapes so that they function and endure. Certainly, we design for beauty, but that is not the end of it. We also design for sustenance, health, diversity and connectivity, and so that community rights in our landscapes are maintained.

Community Collaboration
Collaboration for a landscape architect comes in many forms. As we can see from the articles in this issue of IFLA News, we collaborate on a spectrum from eliciting community feelings and beliefs by way of a process involving no formal consultation or structured meetings, through more proactive meetings, charettes, and steering committees to achieve shared and negotiated outcomes, to community mobilisation at a district or national level.

Articles featuring different levels of community ownership have been contributed from the Americas (Cecilia B. Herzog on a collaborative team in Rio de Janeiro and Beata Dreksler rescuing a central Guatemala City park), and from Europe (Thomas Knoll on transnational collaboration). Others come from Asia and the Pacific: Iran (Mohammad Motallebi on national action on tree planting), Japan (Mayumi Hayashi on community input into urban reconstruction after earthquake devastation), New Zealand (Dennis Scott) and Australia. The issue is introduced by Greg Grabasch who describes two examples of engagement with local communities in the far northwest of Western Australia. Whereas interventions in the past in this region have tended to occur regardless of community wishes, a new approach has allowed local ownership of landscape developments and a better result for visitors alike.
