Landscape Festival Prague

The Landscape Festival Prague is the largest platform for the presentation of landscape architecture and public urban space in the Czech Republic. It brings a variety of incentives and inspirations to specific locations in the venues of the festival and its aim is to increase interest in the quality of the environment, awareness of the possibilities of change, involvement of landscape architecture in the city’s organism and stimulate debates between city residents, experts and local administrations.

The main idea behind the Landscape Festival is to increase awareness of the scope, significance and meaning of landscape architecture in its relationship to contemporary architecture, art and public spaces. The Landscape Festival seeks to publicise and to educate, including by cultivating pan-disciplinary dialogue between Czech and international experts, artists, public leaders, and the wider public.

The Landscape Festival is an educational and interdisciplinary dialogue not only of Czech experts but also of international ones. It presents inspirational exhibitions with quality examples of realisations from Czech and foreign environment, organises lectures or workshops. Leading artists and art school students revive neglected or problematic sites with artistic and landscaping installations and architectural interventions and search for sites that have great potential.
