On november 5, the faculty of Architecture of the Dutch Technical University in Eindhoven, will organise the conference with the title Urban Wastelands. It will provide a debate on design attitudes/strategies aiming at integrating wastelands into the larger territory.
An international group of speakers will participate. With backgrounds in design fields, ecological science, anthropology and land management, they will come from both Europe and the United States.
The Time Foundation will give a lecture about the idea behind ecocathedrals, which might very well be build on wastelands.

- may 02006: Article by Julina Raxworthy
Julian Raxworthy gave a lecture called "Transgressing edges and doing Time" at the 4th European Bienale for landscaparchitecture in Barcelona. "I have been asked to provide an “outsiders” perspective on an aspect of European landscape architectural production. That perspective is from the other side of the world, from Australia, where
I am a landscape architect, academic and critic, and currently, student. A useful place to start such an overview is right here, in Barcelona, the place where I first became interested in my current PhD
topic, and the subject of this lecture – change in landscape architectural design."
Now you can read the article "The ecological garden", where Louis le Roy writes about true ecology, ecocathedrals, complexity, and creativity.
