Andreas Kipar has been invited as keynote lecturer for the IFLA Europe Conference, titled “Re-envisioning European Landscapes through Innovative New European Bauhaus Solutions.” This event, scheduled for Thursday, 18 April 2024, from 18:00 to 20:00 CET, will be held at the ULB Faculty of Architecture La Cambre Horta in Brussels. It is meant to offer a response to the escalating sustainability and resilience challenges in urban environments.

This conference promises to inspire and propose practical solutions, fostering a reconnection with nature through the innovative lens of landscape architecture tailored to meet the daily needs of urban dwellers. We look forward to exploring how interdisciplinary approaches in landscape architecture can contribute to a more sustainable future for European cities.
