This year, IFLA EUROPE Conference and General Assembly will be also linked to a POSTER exhibition with the theme “(UN)LIMITED LANDSCAPES: NO FENCE, NO OFFENCE”. The aim of the exhibition is to bring in front of the large public, the professionals from related fields and the public administrations’ representatives, projects and demarches that reveal the landscape architect’s profession specificity.
The POSTER exhibition will be on display on the fence of the Old Princely Court Museum (Curtea Veche) from 31 May to 7 June 2017.
Theme – “(UN)LIMITED LANDSCAPES: NO FENCE, NO OFFENCE”
The general theme tackles a recurrent problem of the contemporary landscape but also one that is political and very actual. On one hand the landscape doesn’t know any limits, borders, frontiers… It is a spatial and social reality that is fluid, overlapped and crossed. On another hand the accessibility, the spatial mobility, migration of people animals and plants are central topics of contemporary design. More details and information on Pecha Kucha will follow shortly.
The theme raises the problem of the limit or the non-limit in landscape. A series of sub-themes are proposed but not in a limitative way. Any other critical gaze over the present tendencies in landscape design or planning and over the question of limits are welcome.
Landscape at planning scale:
TRANS-BORDER LANDSCAPES
COMMON BORDERS / COMMON LANDSCAPES
SPECIFICITY AND TRANSCULTURAL LANDSCAPES
CONNECTING LANDSCAPES – GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Design for people:
SOCIAL (UN)LIMITED LIFE / MIXITY AND ACCESIBILITY
SOCIAL AND SPATIAL MOBILITY

PERCEPTION OF THE LIMITS IN THE LANDSCAPE /THE LANDSCAPE AS MENTAL CONSTRUCT AND THE MENTAL LIMITS
