Recording of ‘Landscape Futures in the Twenty-First Century: Landscape Leaders in an Intergenerational Dialogue’

On 5th December 2024, the Landscape Research Group, in collaboration with the Bartlett School of Architecture’s MA/MLA Landscape Architecture programme, hosted Landscape Futures in the Twenty-First Century: Landscape Leaders in an Intergenerational Dialogue. This event delved into the profound impacts of global crises – climate change, economic challenges, and social transformations – on landscapes worldwide.

The panel, moderated by LRG Vice Chair Prof. Tim Waterman on behalf of LRG Chair Prof. Theano S. Terkenli, addressed three critical questions:

• How do you anticipate and/or envision the future of landscape and landscape research in our era of multiple crises?
• What role could the Landscape Research Group play in addressing these challenges?
• What strategies or actions do you recommend to respond to and mitigate these challenges while embracing emerging opportunities?

The video above features our four distinguished panellists – Professor Marc Antrop, Dr Margherita Cisani, Dr Amy Strecker, and Professor Tim Ingold -representing multiple generations and academic disciplines. Together, they explored our evolving relationships with landscapes and our roles in addressing pressing issues such as food security, cultural heritage, and energy production.
