- Professor Antje Stokman deconstructs the myth that being a landscape architect is about designing beautiful green landscapes. What happens quite often is that the green landscape that you build in one place will actually create a desert elsewhere. In this talk, she explores the idea of letting nature be a part of the landscape - which could mean welcoming floods.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
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!
This was incredibly inspiring. I can't wait to research at some of these projects further. Thank you for sharing.
fantastically inspiring! this is the future of landscape architecture in climate change
Climate change is a HOAX.
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.
In Maracaibo they had the parks as flood lands, so they did double duty as 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.

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*
Fantastic
this is amazing
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.
sounds like permaculture
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.
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...
