Andreas Kipar

Architect, landscapist and urban planner, Andreas Kipar is the founder and Creative Director of the international landscape architecture studio LAND, with offices in Germany, Italy and Switzerland. A graduate in Landscape Architecture at the GHS University of Essen and in Architecture and Urban Planning at Milan Politecnico, where he has taught Public Space Design since 2009, he often holds seminars and lectures at a number of universities, including Naples, Dresden, Venice, Zurich, Versailles and Dortmund. He is a full member of the German Academy of Urban and Regional Planning (DASL), the Association of German Landscape Architects (BDLA), the Italian Association of Landscape Architects (AIAPP) and the Italian Urban Planning Institute (INU). He is the inventor of the “Raggi Verdi” [Green Rays] model in Milan, which connect up the various areas of the city to favour a new slow mobility from the centre towards the suburbs. This model, internationally recognised as a pioneering one in green urban planning, has also had subsequent applications in Essen, the European Green Capital 2017, and in the award-winning Smart City of Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye in Moscow.

Michel Desvigne

is a landscape architect internationally renowned for his rigorous and contemporary designs and for the originality and relevance of his research work. He has developed projects in more than twenty-five countries, where his work helps in highlighting the landscapes and rendering them visible, in understanding the mechanisms at work giving them form, and in acting upon these mechanisms in order to transform the landscapes and imbue them with meaning. In 2011, he received France’s Grand Prize for Urbanism for his continual contribution to and reflection upon the city and larger territory. In 2014, he was awarded the European Prize for Urban Public Space for his restoration project of the Old-Port of Marseille.

These pils are now remembered by the sunken gardens. Several learning gardens and a series of information panels allow visitors to know the key issues of the intervention. Playgrounds are located in the middle of the park and are especially protected. Toys imitate construction tool.

: Jordi Bellmunt – PLATJA LARGA – Salou, Tarragona, Spain, 2019 The Salou Platja Llarga project deals with the theme of Landscape in relation to Tourism. The intervention therefore concerns a transversal system, a limiting element, markedly parallel to the coast in the city of Salou about 120 km south of Barcelona, a predominantly tourist city. The waterfront is part of a global project to redefine the coast along the city of Salou, ensuring continuity and accessibility to all points of the territory. A new strategy for intervention on the coast: masterplan, section and photo. photo (on the bottom) by Lourdes Jansana In collaboration whit: N. Castaños, Jordi Samper, Joan Domingo Credit: photo by Lourdes Jansana

: Jordi Bellmunt – PLATJA LARGA – Salou, Tarragona, Spain, 2020 On a stretch of coast equal to about one kilometer, the arrival point of the theme park on the coast, the proposal provides for the recovery of the primeval image of the place characterized by an extremely degraded dune system due to the installation of a campsite.

: Jordi Bellmunt – PLATJA LARGA – Salou, Tarragona, Spain, 2020 The waterfront among trees, belvedere, spaces for contemplation, meeting points, has kept as its main criterion the conservation of the natural wealth of the site, the desire to make nature feel around and convert the waterfront into a place with spatial and environmental quality. The proposal adapts to the orography of the place and its characteristics, and defines a project that is the result of dialogue and creative will together with the potential of an unusual place. Masterplan and details Team: N. Castaños, Jordi Samper, Joan Domingo

: Jordi Bellmunt – REUS CAMPUS – Reus, Spain, 2019 Following a timed implementation program, over a period of 10 years, the proposal provides for the gradual transformation of the place where university buildings and equipment will be implemented. Starting from the existing agricultural structure, a new landscape is therefore configured which will develop over time, in a sustainable and efficient way.

: Jordi Bellmunt – REUS CAMPUS – Reus, Spain, 2019 By recovering the identity of the place, the aim is to create a dynamic landscape, at the service of different users, which will ensure maximum comfort (behavioral and ethological) and a better interrelation between people and the surrounding environment.

: Jordi Bellmunt – REUS CAMPUS – Reus, Spain, 2019 The university campus of Bellissens lies on the agricultural area of the old Mas Vila de Barberà farm, a historical asset of the city of Reus, currently the seat of the university’s rectorate. The landscape proposal, designed in the first phase, lays the foundations for the future urbanization of the area, according to an approach that provides for an integrated design-management-maintenance model.

: Jordi Bellmunt – SANTA COLOMA DE GRAMENET – Metropolitan Area of B These projects are an example of how small projects can improve the quality of life of many people and bring colour to places that did not expect it. Creating landscapes in a sterile medium, creating life where there is only mistrust, generating security where there is mistrust, creating joy in a sad world.

: Jordi Bellmunt – SANTA COLOMA DE GRAMENET – Metropolitan Area of B As part of the objectives of Agenda 21, the Municipality of Barcelona has planned in recent years a series of strategic actions aimed at improving pedestrian mobility from the city to the suburbs of the metropolitan area. In this line of action, the municipality of Santa Coloma has promoted the installation of elevators, escalators and mobile ramps, where the pronounced topography and an unorthodox design, have built urbanized areas with reduced pedestrian mobility and a fragmented public space.
