Temporary Landscapes and Placemaking

The construction process of our design build installation in Copenhagen Denmark: Hands On Urbanism

Landscape architects need to take a more active role in the planning, design, and execution of temporary landscapes. Temporary landscapes are a tool for creative placemaking because they can contribute to the changing cultural identity of city. Temporary landscapes offer respond to the flexibility needed by our cities. However the unorganized variety of temporary landscapes has made it difficult to evaluate and learn from these spaces. In order to create stronger temporary landscapes a typology is needed.  A typology of temporary landscapes will help us better situate and evaluate these projects.
