Location: Parana Delta, Argentina Project Leader: Jaap Van Der Salm Office: H+N+S Landschapsarchitecten
Context In the context of a collaboration between the Netherlands and Argentina, a workshop was organized in Buenos Aires at the end of August 2018.
Goal The research was developed in collaboration with FABRICations, One Architecture, Deltares and INA, and provides future scenarios for the Parana Delta in Argentina in the fields of ecology & landscape, urban development, land use, tourism and recreation. This is geared to the system properties of the delta and the changes that are emerging in this area. The research presents future scenarios in which water safety, ecology and economy are linked in a sustainable vision of the future development of this delta near Buenos Aires.

KADER ZONNE-ENERGIE ZUID HOLLAND High Spatial Quality Study
Context The generation of solar energy provides an important contribution to this the energy transition process. There are always more initiatives for the construction of solar fields outside existing cities - village area (BSD). The province wants the use of solar energy to actively facilitate and support, but also, at the same time, protect unbuilt space. In the ‘Vision Space and Mobility’ (VRM), a policy formulated on the placement of solar energy outside BSD, giving guidelines on how place a solar field with added value for the environment.

03 SUSTAINABLE ENERGY LANDSCAPES Landscape Architecture Applied To Energy Transition Process In Multifunctional Landscapes
Context Energy landscapes are a concept that can open a debate regarding how sustainable they can be. Renewable energy inserted in a certain landscape doesn’t automatically mean it’s also sustainable, therefore it’s important to distinguish Renewable Energy Landscapes from Sustainable Energy Landscapes. This follows the concept of multifunctionality in the way that if one is incapable of combining functions, some opportunities get left behind.
Goal The aim of this thesis is not to develop a new project where renewable energy measures are applied but in fact, a set of guidelines and steps that compose a design process on how to address the energetic thematic when applied to a specific context of spaces deprived from their original beauty and function but that still mean a lot to their local communities.

Location: Raadi Airfield. Tartu, Estonia Thesis Supervisor: Friedrich Kuhlmann, Dipl. Ing University: Estonian University of Life Sciences
The main product of this thesis was the development of a design process that will act as a handbook or manual on how to approach sustainable energy landscape projects on a local scale where the community will profit from it and the landscape addressed with respect, preserving the most important elements or features, ensuring spatial and social quality.
In order to test the “manual� - Design process - an area in Tartu was chosen, believed to better portrait the type of landscapes aimed to intervene with this proposed approach. Our case-study is called Raadi Military Airfield and adjacent areas, located near the Estonian National Museum (Eesti rahva muuseum in Estonian language), on the outskirts of Tartu, Estonia. The result can be found in the full version of this document.

RESIDENTIAL GARDEN Urban Garden Of Proximity
Masterplan. Software: AutoCAD, Corel, Adobe Photoshop
As an effort to provide privacy to the residents, every backyard has a brick bench at its limits with sitting and separation function from the public garden. Regarding vegation and water bodies, this garden was planned to be as low maintenance as possible due to the fact that the city’s municipality would be the entity responsable and this was one of their requests for the project. The older trees existing on the terrain were kept as is and the design was made around it. Photograph of the site before intervention. Author: Mafalda Lopes

The water bodies are water mirrors. Their function is to reflect the sky and tree brunches, functioning as an interesting element.
Location: Tavira, Portugal Team: Bruno Campinas, Diogo Guadalupe, Mafalda Lopes, Melissa Alves
Context
Goal
The place of intervention is located in the city of Tavira. The exercise involves the analysis of the area (biophysical, social and cultural aspects).
The main idea
The condition of this space consists on an overgrown field of autochthonous vegetation, mixed with garbage left by people using this area as a shortcut or as an open dump.
behind this project was to provide every backyard of each house a direct entrance to this public garden. Every house had a different elevation so the challenge here was to be able to still make the whole garden accessible to disabled people.

Context The study area focuses on the municipality of Portimão, located in the Algarve region of mainland Portugal. This municipality also has three parishes called Portimão, Alvor and Mexilhoeira Grande.
Goal Resourcing to the municipality’s Landscape unit map, the main objective was to identify the uses and functions present in each unit of this territory and determine if they must be preserved or changed in order to reconcile the suitability of such function with the appropriate use to be implemented.

05 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF PORTIMÃO Land Planning - Municipality Level
ANALYSIS The goal, according to the spatial planning process, that is, the spatial organization of the uses and activities of Man in a given territory, was to elaborate a diagnosis of the territory that consists of the development of the “main premises that will inform the planning proposals through the confrontation established between uses and functions with the biophysical system.” - Cancela de Abreu, 1989, p. 73 The result was a proposed new land unit map where functions match the land properties in a more sustainable way, later sub-divided in sub units for more accuracy. PROPOSED LAND UNIT MAP
DIAGNOSIS For each territorial unit and, especially, for each territorial subunit, a diagnosis was carried out in order to identify which uses and functions are present that constitute values to preserve and or value, such as the identification of system components that are dysfunctional. That said, the uses and functions identified as values to be preserved consist of the current situation of that of agricultural areas, protection forests, forests, industrial equipment and agroforestry systems. All the listed units were classified as values to preserve, since their current situation demonstrates a good functioning and fulfillment of the intrinsic functions to each one. The remaining units were di-

PROPOSAL In this phase, concrete proposals for intervention in the territory are defined, according to the diagnosis made previously, looking for the best way to change the territory in order to make it sustainable and dynamic, taking advantage of its natural conditions. For each territorial unit with diagnosed problems, several proposals were created in order to reverse the current situation.
CONDITIONING One important aspect is the legal and physical conditioning of the land in question. In this case there are numerous variables to take in account such as the land exclusively for agriculture (in yellow), and conservation (in green), as well as the equipment and infrastructure already present (symbols).

EO WIJERS PRIJSVRAAG Samen naar een lakaal en circulair voedsellandschap in de Brabantse Kempen en Groote Heide
‘Maken’ staat centraal in de regio de Kempen en Groote Heide. Het droge zandlandschap vraagt van oudsher om vindingrijkheid en slimme samenw-
erking. Die eigenschappen, het unieke boslandschap en de verbinding met
Brainport Eindhoven maken de Kempen en Groote Heide hét gebied voor innovatie. Ruimtelijke strategie Rechtstreeks biedt perspectief op de inpassing van circulaire voedselproductie in 2050. Het huidige landbouwsysteem
legt een grote druk op klimaat, milieu en onze gezondheid. Voor een toekomstbestendig voedsellandschap worden drie transities geïntegreerd: dieet,
afzetmarkt en ruimtegebruik. De transitie naar een duurzaam dieet met een
verschuiving van overwegend dierlijke naar plantaardige eiwitten. De transitie van export naar een lokale afzetmarkt. De transitie van monofunctioneel
naar meervoudig ruimtegebruik. Het Brabantse Streekhuis vervult de rol van aanjager en incubator van verandering en verbindt meekoppelkansen.
