European Landscape Biennial

Since its first edition, the European Landscape Biennial has expressed its desire to intently study and discuss landscape interventions, as much from the perspective of landscape architecture as from other disciplines that are linked to its study and evolution.
After having been consolidated on a European scale in its four previous editions—“Remake Landscapes” (1999), “Gardens in Arms” (2001), “Only with Nature” (2003), and “Landscape: a Product / a Production” (2006)—, this fifth edition of the Biennial (Storm and Stress, September 2008) has included the participation of a non European Country so that we can become more familiar with new landscape design realities around the world.
Every two years, Barcelona opens its doors to the Biennial of Landscape Architecture, which is to be set at exceptional venues like the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Museu Marítim de Barcelona, the Col·legi d’Arquitectes and the Escola d’Arquitectura de Barcelona. The symposium lasts three days and includes talks, presentations by the finalists of the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize, round tables and exhibitions where it is possible to track and discuss the evolution of landscape design in Europe and in this edition’s special guest territory. (North America in the last edition 2008). Presentation of the works of the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize finalists.
The international jury, convened by the Executive Committee of the Biennial, selects the finalists for the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize from among the projects presented, and subsequently the winner. All the presented projects are available for viewing at the permanent exhibition works built in Europe between the 5 years before the appeal, on the ground floor of the COAC.
