Built by the Nazi regime in 1937 and taken over by Allied forces after the war, Campbell Barracks later served as NATO HQ for Europe, which closed in the mid-2010s. Decades of army use left a palimpsest of traces that were waiting to be reinterpreted. The jury recognises how difficult and yet successful it was to redesign this army-charged site with 'respectful lightness' and a 'slight twist of humour' as if the designers wanted to decompress the site and add play in a witty, nearly mischievous way. That is evident, for example, in a stripe of play elements that run through the entrance checkpoint, emphasising its disuse, or colouring and displacing the found artefacts from the 1970s. In a different configuration, stripped of their original use, these artefacts represent the retreat of control, repression and are abstracted into new constellations, provoking new interpretations and ways of interaction. The jurors appreciated this underlying attitude, also resulting in elegant and much more subtle means of change, for example, mixing and shredding of the existing pavements and using them anew. The material/colour palette is exceptionally well thought-through; it communicates the different layers of the site's palimpsest and connects different parts into a coherent whole. ]]> https://landezine.com/the-park-of-encounters-by-robin-winogrond-studio-vulkan/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/liberation-museum-of-manisa-by-anpt/ https://landezine.com/liberation-museum-of-manisa-by-anpt/#respond Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:10:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=130482 Liberation Museum of Manisa (MKM) was conceived as a memory space to convey the civilian popular movement that developed independently of central authority in the region of Manisa between 1918 and 1923.

One physical corpus was made by two different forces. The narrative states that the general perception of the artificial hill and the surrounding forest is a natural environment. They call it pseudo-nature. Abstractly, it works because of the contrast between open and closed spaces, namely, an artificial forest with a forest ring and a clearing. The top of the hill is a small circular viewing platform made of polished concrete which references the geological structure of the moraine below the top of the hill. The viewing disc features fog-jets that produce an artificial cloud which acts as a poetic reference to flying, to being in the sky, to touching the sky. Entering the artificial cloud acts as a reference to moving through clouds when travelling by plane. Beside the forest ring, the remaining forest area appears almost untouched, as it is under a nature conservation plan. Hence, maintenance is used as means of design. The project exposes many contradictions in our understanding of what is natural and what is artificial.

Situated within the remains of a former warehouse, the design accepts the given conditions—the weathered walls, industrial remnants, and raw materiality—as active participants in the emerging landscape.

The landscape offers so much detail that it seems it wishes to captivates attention, steering it, at least for a moment, from health issues to the plants and meticulous design. But it is more than a distraction, it promotes open-air activities and open-ended occupation. This way, landscape becomes involved as an agent in the healing process. Though the therapeutic potential of gardens is widely acknowledged, such spaces are frequently marginalised within medical institutions—subordinated to hygienic protocols, risk management, and operational pragmatics. This project counters that tendency, demonstrating that even within the tightly regulated environment of a hospital, landscape can be afforded a meaningful presence. Here, architecture does not merely accommodate its outdoor counterpart, but enters into a deliberate and composed dialogue with it. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/steno-diabetes-center-copenhagen-by-sted/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/new-headquarters-of-the-ap-hp-by-chartierdalix/ https://landezine.com/new-headquarters-of-the-ap-hp-by-chartierdalix/#respond Fri, 29 Aug 2025 18:11:04 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=123310 The jury recognizes in this project a highly promising technical exploration and refusal of the conventional green wall systems, which often remain dependent on synthetic materials, intensive irrigation, and short-term ornamental performance. In contrast, the wall developed by ChartierDalix articulates a system that is both more resource-efficient and more attuned to local ecological conditions. It eliminates the dependence on plastic and synthetic media, reduces infrastructural complexity, and minimizes the continuous consumption of energy and water that typifies commercial vertical greening solutions. Yet its significance lies not only in these optimizations. ChartierDalix’s approach constitutes a deeper, more radical reorientation: it does not merely refine the existing paradigm but challenges its underlying premises. Rather than fabricating a controlled vegetal surface, the system establishes conditions for life to self-organize—allowing native and site-adapted species to colonize, stabilize, and evolve over time. In doing so, the wall ceases to function as a decorative skin and becomes an operative ecological interface—an inhabited vertical ground. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/new-headquarters-of-the-ap-hp-by-chartierdalix/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/raleigh-iron-works-by-future-green-landscape-architecture/ https://landezine.com/raleigh-iron-works-by-future-green-landscape-architecture/#respond Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:32:22 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122845 Raleigh Iron Works: Restoring the Past and Forging the Future Raleigh Iron Works is deeply rooted in the city’s history, honoring its industrial past as a steel foundry and munitions manufacturer during both world wars.

Yet it is an intervention in landscape that stands as a provocative inquiry into the status of abandoned plots embedded within the urban fabric. The project poses fundamental questions: is a site truly ‘neglected’ if a thriving biotope has already taken hold? Could such a space, in its self-organized vitality, already constitute a form of an urban park? How to organize the social dimension? Krater unfolds as an expedition into landscape itself—an open-ended investigation in which fragmented architectural elements function as instruments of observation, experiment, and reflection. The site operates as a living laboratory, challenging conventional practices of open space production and the disciplinary boundaries of landscape architecture. It addresses relevant uncertainties the Anthropocene entails, engaging critically with issues of multi-species coexistence and the contested notion of environmental harmonization. At a time when landscape architecture often seeks to simulate nature through aesthetic approximation or even mimicry, Krater seems oblivious to such representational impulses. Its proposition is radical in its restraint: rather than imposing form, it frames this ‘third landscape’ as a space of ecological processes, social encounter and experiment, revealing alternative logics of co-inhabitation, agency and design—logics that may become increasingly relevant as landscape architecture confronts its own ecological, ethical and epistemological limits. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/krater-ljubljana-creative-laboratory-in-a-construction-pit-by-krater-collective/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/the-parc-du-vallon-in-metz-by-arpentere/ https://landezine.com/the-parc-du-vallon-in-metz-by-arpentere/#respond Wed, 30 Jul 2025 10:14:59 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122274 Metz Technopole has been growing rapidly since 1984.

It shows how to effortlessly tackle a typology well known to European cities. The central ‘plaza under the trees’ remains open and unburdened — a space left deliberately undefined, capable of hosting a multiplicity of uses and adapting to unforeseen futures. Subtle adjustments amplify its everyday functionality: a simple asphalt surface and path extend the spatial affordances for children’s play, while vegetated edges articulate an outdoor room, buffered from adjacent car traffic. The jury recognized in this approach echoes of mottos such as ‘Never demolish, always add,’ associated with the work of Lacaton & Vassal — where social utility and economic pragmatism form the political ground for design action. Winkelriedplatz thus presents itself as public space in its most essential form: adaptive, accessible, and restrained. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/winkelriedplatz-by-frl/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/ https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/#respond Mon, 28 Jul 2025 04:25:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122213 Gansevoort Peninsula exemplifies a sophisticated effort in programmatic stacking—a compositional strategy frequently employed in the design of American public parks in dense cities. The project assembles a complex sequence of functions: viewpoints, ecological zones, rain garden, an outdoor gym, a dog park, promenades, boardwalks, sports field, a beach, art installation, grove, and the obligatory nod to the picturesque. In dialogue with its flamboyant neighbor, Little Island, the Gansevoort Peninsula establishes itself as a rational, programme based group of high-resolution spaces, an urban interface for a long list of activities. Amidst this surgically orchestrated layering, one particular zone destabilizes the otherwise expected typologies and ambiences. It is by the southern edge, where the Upland Sandy Bluff meets a sequence of descending hardscape platforms—both steps and terraces—that slide into the Hudson River, allowing visitors to engage directly with the water’s edge. This gesture produces a more abstract encounter. As the tide advances and recedes, water interacts with the horizontal planes, generating an ever-shifting dialogue between solidity and liquidity, stability and flux. Suspended above this tidal choreography is David Hammons’ Whitney-commissioned sculpture »Day’s End«, where the presence of the artwork underlines the absence of its artistic and historic references – a demolished warehouse that hosted Gordon Matta-Clark’s artwork of the same name. Its minimal geometry enhances the surrounding emptiness, allowing history, interpretation, and meaning to remain unresolved. In this moment, Gansevoort Peninsula transcends its functional inventory and opens into a space of heightened ambiguity—a site where natural processes, bodily presence, and cultural memory are held in delicate suspension. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/hudson-river-parks-gansevoort-peninsula-by-field-operations/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/ https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/#respond Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:14:05 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=122174 The jury awarded the LILA Landscape and Architecture Award to the Gulbenkian Foundation Garden Extension by VDLA and Kengo Kuma. The project is remarkable for its interplay between old and new: between existing architecture and new interventions, between the formal garden and the more fluid, confidently shaped new spaces. These new spaces may even subtly reference traditional Portuguese paving, such as the iconic Rossio square, often mistakenly attributed to Burle Marx. What stands out is how the design engages with its historical context. It compresses over six decades of evolving design attitudes into a layered and ambiguous experience—one that invites theoretical inquiry. The new garden challenges modernist dichotomies: it appears porous, operating as a membrane between the built and the grown, between past metanarratives and emerging ecological uncertainties. The new roof structure plays an important role, complementing the dynamism and lushness of the garden—its lightness challenges the monumentality of the existing museum building. The design is a subtle dialogue machine. Everything is in flux, and the strength of this project lies precisely here—not in resolving tensions, but in sustaining and enhancing them. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/gulbenkian-foundation-garden-extension-by-vdla/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/yanlord-arcadia-lacy-steps-by-trop-terrainsopen-space/ https://landezine.com/yanlord-arcadia-lacy-steps-by-trop-terrainsopen-space/#respond Mon, 21 Jul 2025 06:00:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=121892 The jury recognizes the Yanlord atrium for its poetic sculptural qualities, offering a playful answer to a dilemma of sufficient conditions for social interaction and space for vegetation and water in a limited space.

It is precisely the abstract dimension of the playground, these unique specifics, that separate the playscape from strictly catalogue-based playgrounds and contribute to children’s emancipation and development.

The jury recognized the recent intervention as a model for how existing urban surfaces can be recalibrated in response to the escalating demands of climate resiliency. The insertion of new vegetation is both precise and strategic. Without compromising the square’s existing programmatic flexibility—allowing for fairs, markets, and public events—, and in a constrained setting on top of an underground parking, the designers have introduced biodiversity, microclimatic benefits, and shaded refuges along its periphery. Although the adaptation subtly shifts the atmosphere of the square, it remains in a respectful dialogue with the original design by Latz + Partner. The result is neither an erasure nor an overstatement, but rather a measured augmentation: a restrained, site-specific calibration that addresses the needs of a changing urban climate without abandoning the integrity of the inherited spatial identity. The jury regarded the project not only as a recognition of the design itself, but also of the progressive stance taken by the commissioning city authorities—an approach that seeks quality in frugal and incremental processes. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/greening-of-flagey-and-sainte-croix-squares-brussels-by-kollektif-and-fallow/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/parco-della-pace-by-pan-associati-and-emf-estudi-marti-franch/ https://landezine.com/parco-della-pace-by-pan-associati-and-emf-estudi-marti-franch/#respond Tue, 08 Jul 2025 19:08:23 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=121792 Parco della Pace is a transformation of a former airport into a vast ecological machine that operates simultaneously as water infrastructure, biodiversity habitat, and public space. Parco della Pace offers a complex interplay of geometries—traces of the former runway, the rigid grids of adjacent military grounds, and the superimposed logic of new water systems—generating a distinct spatial language that remains legible at multiple scales. What distinguishes this project is its unapologetic embrace of scale, engineering, and earthworks, yet without sacrificing ecological subtlety. The site functions as a large-scale detention basin, integrating hydrological processes into a resilient landscape capable of absorbing and slowly releasing floodwaters. Water becomes both technical infrastructure and ecological mediator, generating new habitat edges and transitional ecotones that allow species to recolonize this former infrastructural void. Beyond its technical accomplishments, Parco della Pace also offers a productive ambiguity between program and process. Today, it offers a base that is generous, extensive, and resolutely territorial in scale. In time, it will negotiate between the formal and the open-ended, between cultural programming and wilderness zones left to self-organisation. The project resists the impulse for total scripting, instead establishing a layered framework that will evolve across ecological time. In this sense, the park presents a form of engineered openness, where large-scale interventions initiate processes whose full resolution remains necessarily incomplete. – from the LILA Jury statements]]> https://landezine.com/parco-della-pace-by-pan-associati-and-emf-estudi-marti-franch/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/bidadari-park-by-henning-larsen/ https://landezine.com/bidadari-park-by-henning-larsen/#respond Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:20:16 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=120618 Once a cemetery, now a cherished woodland, Bidadari Park stands as a powerful testament to how thoughtful landscape design, architectural sensitivity and innovative engineering can converge to honour heritage while nurturing ecological vitality.

It is conceived as a public space whose primary function is ecological, where human presence is invited yet not prioritized. Through a subtle modulation of topography, the park amplifies the temporal rhythms of tidal fluctuations, transforming a gently graded surface into a dynamic substrate for biodiversity and spontaneous development. While introducing softness to the pragmatism of an urban harbour environment, the design employs a sober formal language – orthogonal gabions and descending stair-like structures serve as deliberate counterpoints to the unpredictability and apparent disorder of non-human life processes. In this clear interplay between geometric precision and biological contingency, the park stages an ongoing negotiation between control and emergence, order and flux. It becomes not only a site of encounter but also a quiet manifesto on the coexistence of human intention and ecological autonomy. - from the award statements]]> https://landezine.com/tidal-park-keilehaven-by-de-urbanisten/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/water-square-benthemplein-by-de-urbanisten/ https://landezine.com/water-square-benthemplein-by-de-urbanisten/#respond Mon, 09 Jun 2025 06:50:49 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=120900 De Urbanisten: The water square combines water storage with the improvement of the quality of urban public space.
