Η Διεθνής Ομοσπονδία Αρχιτεκτόνων Τοπίου - παράρτημα Ευρώπης, δια της Ομάδας Εργασίας 'Αγροτικά Τοπία' οργανώνει Διαγωνισμό Φωτογραφίας για το Αγροτικό Τοπίο με χρηματικό έπαθλο.
Agricultural Landscapes take up 39% of European lands, presenting a palimpsest of human interaction with nature and creating an extensive ‘green infrastructure’, when sustainably cultivated, with socio-ecological impact to everyday lives of people. Yet, these valuable landscapes, often in close relation with urbanised lands, do not receive the acknowledgement, the ontological planning and the design they deserve.
Unknown to most of citizens, the agricultural landscapes are seen as a background of holidays, many times idealised as ‘scenery’. Therefore Landscape Architects are committed to take actions towards their recognition as productive landscapes, important to produce ecosystem services with recreational valuable place on earth.
IFLA Europe Agricultural Landscape Working Group invites professionals and non-professionals to submit images of their ‘idealised’ but also of their everyday agricultural landscapes! Participants from all over Europe are asked to submit a photograph (at least 300 dpi) representing the main characteristics of the traditional agricultural/forestry/livestock landscape and seascape!
