Learning Landscapes – Zagreb Futurescapes

The fifth LE:NOTRE Institute student competition asked for an integrated learning landscape concept for the river Sava in Zagreb, Croatia, stretching roughly over 32 km. Sava is part of the urban landscape but unfortunately, the connection between the city and its river has been lost. In 1964, the river Sava was regulated after a catastrophic flood . Since then, several projects and workshops have been organized with the goal of reconnecting the river to the city. This competition has generated new ideas for bringing the river back to the city under the overall concept of learning landscapes. This concept embraces participatory, transformative and process-oriented approaches to landscape development and design.
