Dear PA reader,

Landscape architecture is expanding its boundaries in unexpected ways, moving from urban regeneration to extraterrestrial ecosystems. This edition explores how designers are reshaping cities, coastlines, and even off-world environments through sustainability, technology, and visionary thinking.

• Landscape Architecture and the Unseen City reveals how overlooked urban spaces can be transformed into meaningful ecological and social assets, uncovering the hidden layers that shape our cities.

• Hill Landscape revamps neglected area into eco-friendly town demonstrates how degraded land can evolve into a thriving, sustainable community through ecological restoration and thoughtful planning.

• Landscape Design for Beijing Yan Garden embraces the concept of ‘water within the city’ integrates water systems into urban life, creating a harmonious balance between natural flows and built environments.

• Olimpo Nomade by Langarita Navarro, a nomadic city for the festival’s performing artist reimagines temporary landscapes as adaptable, mobile environments that support cultural expression and fluid spatial experiences.

• URB developed the world’s largest artificial reefs project: Dubai Reefs pushes the boundaries of marine landscape design, creating a massive underwater ecosystem that enhances biodiversity while addressing climate challenges.

• Solar energy and sustainable development: Masterplan for Expo 2030 Roma highlights how renewable energy infrastructure and landscape planning can merge into a cohesive vision for future urban development.

• Bjarke Ingels Group’s masterplan for an education campus in Esbjerg Island, Denmark explores how learning environments can be embedded within dynamic landscapes, encouraging interaction between nature and education.

• Moon Village, the first self-sufficient lunar masterplan by SOM and ESA extends landscape architecture beyond Earth, envisioning a fully sustainable habitat that supports human life on the Moon.

Landscape architecture is no longer confined to parks and gardens—it is now a critical discipline shaping resilient cities, ecological systems, and future habitats. Whether on Earth or beyond, the integration of environment, infrastructure, and human experience continues to redefine what landscapes can achieve.
