Amazing talk, it’s really comforting to listen to talk like this because our future depends on this changes, I’m sure that many others ideias and solution will come following this project, we all have to think of projects that will benefit the planet and not just about us ! Very happy to learn about this kind of project!
Some of the examples showing good LA are projects done by Turen Landscape. The rice paddy campus is a very controversial project in China as rice requires high maintenance e.g. pesticides and fertilisers, sowing and harvesting. The paddy itself is a mosquito, as well as its appearance highly depends on the season of the year. In cities like Shenyang as the northern part of China, rice is only available for one season of harvest per year. During the rest time of the year, the rice paddy on campus is an empty pond.
Totally untrue about “when a development is done, another place is suffered”. The only reason why it happens to you is because you have not design well.
When she mentions accepting the flood, it makes me thing of how flood control works in Phoenix Arizona: Most of the green-space is a fair distance below street level to catch storm runoff since, when most of the rain for the year falls in a few big storms over just a couple months, there's no good way to engineer a storm sewer to handle it all.
ghostbirdofprey Have you seen the books "Harvesting Rainwater, l & ll" by Brad Lancaster? They address similar issues in a desert Southwestern US area with great success. Highly recommended reading. This book is useful for anywhere, even rainforests but is especially useful where water is typically scarce. He suggests clever ways of dealing with storm water issues and *makes it work*

fantastically inspiring! this is the future of landscape architecture in climate change
Climate change is a HOAX.

In Maracaibo they had the parks as flood lands, so they did double duty as well.
This was incredibly inspiring. I can't wait to research at some of these projects further. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting insights about women's roles and preferences in the profession
There was very little mention of this throughout the video
Yes, indeed, she made the comment notably as part of a larger lecture about her profession.

A bit out-of -date.....the original landscape architects were doing this stuff 50 years ago.
She picks on Beijing but I am pretty sure there are examples of problematic design in Western Europe...
sounds like permaculture
Fantastic
this is amazing
