NEW NORDIC LANDSCAPES
Biodiversity in an urban context, interaction between infrastructure and landscape, a closer look at Iceland's utilization of geothermal energy and the deployment of residues from the Norwegian oil industry.
Through projects from the Nordic countries, the exhibition ‘New Nordic Landscapes' demonstrates how landscape architecture is about so much more than making things look pretty: Used strategically, it has the potential to supply solutions that promote health and create better living conditions for people in both cities and rural regions.
NEW NORDIC LANDSCAPES is initiated and financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers as part of the overall globalization strategy of the Nordic Ministers of Culture. With this strategy, the ministers have kick-started several initiatives, which focus on creative industries and profiling of Nordic culture through literature, film and landscape architecture.
The exhibition is developed by Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration with Norsk Form - Foundation for Design and Architecture in Norway, The Nordic House in Reykjavik, The Swedish Museum of Architecture and Museum of Finnish Architecture.
The Exhibition is on display at the Nordic lighthouse during EXPO in Shanghai 2010 - 1 June to 15 August 2010
