2010 ILASA Conference

Having considered many logistical issues, including the number of delegates that can be accommodated, exhibition space available and the cash-flow of the institute in terms of deposits needed to secure the venue, ILASA has decided to change the dates of its 2010 conference. The event took place on Thursday and Friday May 13 – 14 2010 at the Wanderers Club in Johannesburg.

An exciting programme with a theme of “landscape architecture... adding value” focussed on four sub-themes:

-          Green building within the context of green cities
-          Regenerative landscapes – brownfields development, reclamation and rehabilitation
-          The role of landscape architecture in public precincts, squares and parks to facilitate densification and social cohesion
-          Urban greening and ecological systems within cities.

The conference was aimed at landscape architects and their clients (fellow professionals such as architects, urban designers and civil engineers as well as client bodies such as government and municipal departments and property developers). 

ILASA hopes to achieve three main goals through the staging of the conference:

-       To illustrate to potential clients the value landscape architects can add to built-environment projects.
-       To improve the standard of landscape architecture in South Africa through knowledge sharing among professionals.
-       To provide a networking forum to the various clients, professionals, contractors and suppliers involved in the field of landscape architecture.

Landscape architectural firms are encouraged not to only book seats for their staff, but also for their clients and fellow built-environment professionals.
