Landscape Urbanism constitutes a collective endeavour to construct a new model of practice where the techniques and modes of operation historically described as landscape design can be integrated within the domain of urbanism. The landscape offers the double opportunity to reframe urban problems and to recontextualize the practice of architecture in general. It introduces a context of immensity, a context of complexification, a context of time, a context of vitality with a life of its own, and a virtual context, simultaneously pre-existent and co-existent with actual urban conditions unfolding. These contexts open the conditions for a shift in the understanding of urban developments.

First research in the Coastlines series, European Coastal Infrastructures explores the potentials and limitations of the implementation of an integrated coastal zone management in Europe. The design research aims at the constitution of prototypical organizations meshed in continental networks of different times and scales, capable to promote resilient and adaptable modes of urban growth.
