The 18th International Landscape Architectural Symposium of Japan, China and Korea
(The Convention of JILA Kansai Branch 2023 will be jointly held.)
[Theme]
Next Generation of Landscape from Asia: Traditions and Innovations
[Statement]
Asia has rich traditions rooted in nature and culture, which emerge in its beautiful landscapes. At the same time, as the frontier of technological innovation, its landscapes are changing dynamically.
This conference will bring together landscape professionals to share the results of research and practice in both tradition and innovation and to explore how we can respond to the challenges we face. For example, we will address climate change, reduce disaster risk, improve biodiversity, prevent air pollution, manage water resources properly, dispose of large amounts of waste, preserve cultural landscapes, ensure wellbeing lifestyles, and create beautiful landscapes. In meeting these challenges, traditional landscape technologies derived from symbiosis with nature provide hints for achieving social sustainability, driven by the global goal of a nature-positive world.
The era of Web 3.0, the next generation of autonomous and decentralized Internet, has arrived, and with technological innovations such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, the scope of our efforts will expand in both time and space. Our goal is to be the protagonist in confronting these challenges head-on, utilizing the fruits of technological innovation, and to present to the world how sustainable next-generation landscapes could be.
