Abstract

In the historical context we live in, where urbanization is a process that affects the entire territory and not only urban areas, and where natural resources are increasingly limited, but a critical reflection on operational landscapes is necessary from a perspective that considers both the natural and social environments. Contrary to the traditional approach that assumes an understanding of the landscape as something opposed to city-building, the theory of planetary urbanization asserts that infrastructures and productive territories have become part of the urban condition and therefore must be studied, planned, and designed. Thus, in this Landscape Planning course, the methodology established is based on projective cartography as a tool to rethink the territory, generating new perspectives and solutions to address contemporary challenges in land use and landscape management.

Silvia Ribot is an urbanist and landscape architect, trained in the AA master's program "Landscape Urbanism," with over 10 years of international experience in the design and coordination of projects of various scales. She is a professor of Landscape Planning and Introduction to Urbanism in the Landscape Architecture degree program at URJC (Rey Juan Carlos University) and co-director of the AAVS Terrain Lab at the Architectural Association in London. Previously, she taught in the Landscape Urbanism master's program at the AA and as a visiting professor at several Spanish universities (ETSA-UN, UEM...). She is currently developing her PhD on operational landscapes within the "Sustainability and Urban Regeneration" program in the DUyOT of the School of Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Additionally, she carries out her work independently and through collaborations with national and international offices on projects related to Ecological Urbanism and Regional Planning.

Alba Rodríguez Illanes, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos

Alba R. (MArch, MSc) is an Architect / Urban & Landscape Designer / Researcher & Teacher. Her work spans across different scales and geographies studying the nature of urban territories and their conflicts focusing on the generation of landscapes of inequality. Her design process always considers the landscape as a tool and a medium for establishing environmental & social equity within urbanized territories. She is currently developing landscape urbanism research of consequentian landscapes derived form urbanization, with a particular focus in mapping and representing its territorial socio-ecological dynamics. She has collaborated with international firms and public administrations to develop sustainable and landscape based projects in urban environments, and combines her professional work with independent research. She works as an Adjunct Professor (Associate Lecturer) at the Landscape bachelor’s degree of Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid (URJC), and she has also been a guest professor, tutor and lecturer at universities such as AAVisiting school, IED or RMIT. She also collaborates as an independent consultant and as a researcher with Madrid Borde Sur.
