01 Contest Organizers
The International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) currently represents 77 national associations from Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. As a landscape architect, IFLA's mission is to create a globally sustainable and balanced living environment for the benefit of humanity all over the world.
IFLA is an official body that represents the world of landscape architects through its member associations and regions, as well as in governmental and non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations, UNESCO, the International Union of Architects, etc. The International Union of Landscape Architects is a non-profit, non-political non-governmental organization.
Its mission is to promote the development of the landscape architecture profession in partnership with relevant built environment professions, requiring the highest standards in education, training, research and professional practice, and providing leadership and management in all matters.
02 Contest Theme: Code Red for the Earth
The 60th World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA), hosted by the UCTEA Chamber of Landscape Architects of Turkey, will be held in Istanbul from September 4 to 6, 2024, with the theme "Projecting code red for poost-violence lanscapes".
The planet is undergoing unprecedented changes. We live in "Code Red". The scaleless and borderless nature of the environmental crisis, as well as the irreversible degradation of terrestrial, atmospheric and aquatic environments, are harming all living things and their habitats. A significant number of the world's people are affected daily by climate change, severe disasters, mass migration, destruction of livelihoods, land-use change, habitat encroachment, species extinction, and wildlife crime, all of which contribute to the formation of the landscape that follows violence on Earth.
The IFLA Student Design Competition 2024 invites proposals for envisioning post-violence landscapes of varying scales and contexts. Imagine landscapes of violence of different scales and contexts. These include, but are not limited to, post-mining, post-industrial, post-war, post-catastrophe, post-(migrant) migration, and post-urbanized landscapes. These landscapes may include land works affected by human activities, detrital and contaminated terrains such as chemical or nuclear sites or anthropogenic soils, as well as changing urban and environmental content.
The Assembly hereby calls upon humanity to take urgent action to prevent the worst impacts of the environmental crisis. Students are invited to contribute to the global discourse of post-violence landscapes by generating creative and novel landscape planning and design solutions. It calls for a proactive approach to the restoration of disturbed terrain, emphasizing transformative landscape interventions to foster the potential for spatial, social and ecological healing. The goal is to train a new generation of designers dedicated to creating creatures that not only recreate the physical environment, but also contribute to the healing of communities, including all living things in disturbed landscapes.
03 Contest awards
A total of 9 teams won awards in all three categories.
04 Contest Categories
Category 1: Analysis and planning
The scaleless and infinite nature of the environmental crisis requires a comprehensive planning strategy, supported by a meticulous and meticulous analytical process, to effectively address Code Red. Similarly, post-violence landscapes have a clear and implicit impact on a wide range of areas at different levels, necessitating comprehensive recovery interventions. Under this category, participants can analyze the overt and covert impacts of post-violence landscapes on terrestrial, atmospheric, and aquatic environments, as well as non-humans and humans. The planning principles and recommendations resulting from these analyses will be the expected outputs for this particular category.
Category 2: Landscape Design
Landscape architecture projects that focus on a specific landscape after violence fall into this category. Recommendations to identify a particular location as a key point are expected to mitigate the wide-ranging adverse effects of disruption through the transformative forces of design.
Category 3: Applied Research
Research is an important part of the discipline of landscape architecture and has an interrelationship with practice. Landscape design and planning can both provide information and be informed through research. In this category, students can submit a detailed research evaluation of a construction project, such as a case study or research work that promotes professional development through application. Submissions of master's or doctoral studies in this category are encouraged. Students can also submit landscape strategies, which are the result of comprehensive research. Research topics can include any field, including life sciences, ecology, sociology, human behavior, social psychology, etc. , as long as it is relevant to the theme of the competition. Various methods, such as case studies, questionnaires, interviews, and literature reviews, can be used. In short, in the context of applied research, students are expected to translate the results of the research conducted (landscape architecture research/planning examples or research on specific topics using the scientific method) into creative solutions to the restoration of the post-violence landscape.

06 Qualifications & Contest Official Website
The competition is open to diploma students, undergraduate and graduate students in all landscape architecture majors, or students who have studied landscape architecture in a university course but do not explicitly indicate that they are landscape architects. Students from related fields can participate in the competition as part of a team, but not individually. Submissions from across disciplines are welcome, however, the team must be led by a landscape architecture student. Both individual and team entries will be accepted, and only one entry per student or team is allowed. Students must be enrolled in the competition to be eligible for the competition. The number of members in each team shall not exceed 5. Professional collaborators and associates of the members of the jury, as well as their relatives within three generations, are not allowed to participate in the competition. Students are not allowed to contact any member of the jury before or during the competition. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected] directly
