LRG Collaboration with Beijing Forestry University for the 2025 International Landscape Architecture Symposium
We are delighted to announce that Landscape Research Group (LRG) is partnering with the School of Landscape Architecture at Beijing Forestry University (BFU) for the 2025 International Landscape Architecture Symposium (ILAS), taking place from 24–26 October 2025 in Beijing.
This year’s theme, Sustainability · Inclusivity · Evidence-Based Science: Towards Resilient Futures, reflects a shared commitment to reimagining landscape architecture as a discipline that addresses the ecological, social and scientific challenges of our time.
Keynote speeches will focus on three core themes:
- Ecological sustainability and environmental resilience
- Social inclusivity and landscape universality
- Evidence-based innovative pathways in landscape design
Crucially, this event marks an important opportunity to amplify Chinese voices within our growing international landscape community and to deepen cross-cultural dialogue on sustainability, design and environmental futures. With contributions from leading journals including Landscape Architecture and Sustainability, and our own Landscape Research, the conference offers a space for global exchange and collaboration.
The call for abstracts is now open to researchers, scholars and practitioners around the world. Selected submissions will be invited to present their work and considered for publication in a special issue.
We look forward to welcoming LRG members and partners to Beijing for this event.
