  • (en anglais) COMPETITION - Landscape architecture competition. Suburbia Transformed, One Garden at a Time. Deadline for submissions: 16 April 210
    For most, James Rose is remembered as one of three Harvard Students who rebelled against their Beaux Arts training in the 1930s, helping to usher landscape architecture—kicking and screaming—into the modern era. Yet somewhere after Harvard and well into the real world, Rose lost any faith he may have had in the modern planning and design professions he had helped to inspire. By the mid 1950s he had retreated from public practice and spent most of the later part of his career designing private gardens that were in direct contrast to the environmental excesses and cultural banality of the contemporary post-WWII suburbanization he saw all around him.
    These built critiques were made with found objects, recycled, left-over materials, native plants and whatever he could scavenge from the sites themselves. He called them “space-sculptures-with-shelters,” and they reflected the creative, spatial and artistic nature of the garden in ways that were greener, more economical and less wasteful of resources. In doing so, Rose incorporated a conservation ethic into a modern design aesthetic, skillfully choreographing outdoor spatial experiences that inspire us to better perceive our relationship to the environment. Today, in the age of sustainability, it is equally, if not more, important to consider contemporary green technologies within the context of the aesthetics of human landscape experience.
    Through a juried competition, Suburbia Transformed, One Garden at a Time will assemble contemporary projects achieving this goal into an exhibition and catalogue. The emphasis is on how emerging sustainable strategies and tactics are used to create human landscape experiences that are beautiful, inspiring, perhaps profound; and which might serve as examples for transforming the suburban residential fabric, one garden at a time.

    To occupy the earth is not simply to make use of its resources through farming the land and building on it. It is to poetically dwell – to live out one’s humanity. Architects have the responsibility of creating spaces that respect the earth and the sky, fulfill humanity’s mortal and spiritual nature and can contribute to the global challenge of tackling climate change. They have the responsibility of sustaining earth’s gift to them, of enhancing it not depleting it. Are they up to it? Are you up to it? This is our challenge to you.

    Dans le cadre de l'Année Internationale de la Biodiversité, l'association Entreprises pour l'Environnement organise le Prix Etudiant EpE Metro. L'édition 2010 de ce concours portera sur le sujet suivant : « Biodiversité : que faut-il faire ? La préservation de la biodiversité apparaît aujourd'hui comme l'enjeu environnemental majeur aux côtés de la lutte contre le changement climatique. Que recommanderiez-vous aux entreprises, aux maires et aux consommateurs pour qu'ils concilient leurs activités et leurs projets avec le maintien, voire le développement, de cette biodiversité ? ». Ce Prix participera à la prise de conscience des étudiants aux enjeux liés à ce sujet, et les invitera à une réflexion sur les moyens de concilier activité économique et préservation de la biodiversité. Par ailleurs, la visibilité donnée aux trois rapports finalistes (cérémonie de remise des Prix, communiqués de presse, diffusion via les partenaires Metro et Actu Environnement, ?) sera également l'occasion de sensibiliser l'ensemble du grand public aux actions de préservation de la biodiversité, souvent innovantes, proposées par les étudiants.
