The Finnish landscape architecture degree programme celebrated its
thirtieth anniversary by organising the fifteenth Nils Erik Wickberg
symposium at Aalto University in 2019.
In
this publication, six invited speakers give insights into landscape
architecture. Professor Christophe Girot discusses computational
methodologies and challenges us to explore the landscape with new
technologies. Professor Antje Stokman reflects on the co-design of urban
waters as blue commons. Professor Karsten Jørgensen recalls the
establishment of landscape architecture education and its
one-hundred-year evolution. Honorary doctor Leena Iisakkila reflects on
the beginnings of Finnish landscape architecture education through her
path as a teacher. Landscape architect Ria Ruokonen delineates the trend
of the profession with illustrative examples of her design projects.
Professor Emeritus Vilhelm Helander portrays Professor Nils Erik
Wickberg, an influential architectural scholar whose endowment allows
Aalto University to organise annual symposia on varying topics.
