VI. European Biennial of Landscape Architecture

Dates: 30 September - 2 October 2010
Location: Barcelona, Spain

From 30 September to 2 October 2010, the 6th European Landscape Biennial will take place in Barcelona, Spain. Part of the Biennial is the 6th Rosa Barba European Landscape Award. The Biennial is organized by the Association of Architects of Catalonia (COAC), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Master’s Program in Landscape Architecture and the Association of Friends of the UPC), and the Department of Territorial Policy and Public Works (Architecture and Landscape Division) of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia.

The Biennial
Since its first edition, the European Landscape Biennial has expressed its desire to intently study and discuss landscape interventions, as much from the perspective of landscape architecture as from other disciplines that are linked to its study and evolution. The Biennial has been consolidated on a European scale in its five previous editions - “Remaking Landscapes” (1999), “Gardens in Arms” (2001), “Only with Nature” (2003), and “Landscape: a Product / a Production” (2006), Storm & stress (2008) -, and also on an international scale in the last edition as the Biennial focused on the contemporary landscapes of USA.

Barcelona will open itself to landscape in a symposium that will be set at some of the city’s most exceptional sites. This symposium will last three days and will include talks, presentations by those finalists competing for the Rosa Barba European Landscape Award, papers, roundtable discussions, exhibitions and samples from which we will be able to track and discuss the evolution of landscape design in Europe. Major focus will also lie on Liquid Landscapes in China.
