Giulio Andreolli – Making Landscape Award

The Landscape Observatory of the Autonomous Province of Trento, in collaboration with the School for Land and Landscape Governance TSM-STEP, is promoting the Giulio Andreolli – Making Landscape Award to support the protection and management of the Alpine landscape in accordance with the European Landscape Convention and as established by the 2008 Provincial Urban Plan.

The Giulio Andreolli – Making Landscape Award consists of a selection of works, projects and initiatives carried out in the area defined by the Alpine Convention, which are able to express objectives of high landscape quality and environmental sustainability, such as planning tools, management initiatives, landscape architecture interventions and cultural actions.

The selection, which is open to the European Alpine context, is aimed at highlighting experiences which, with reference to landscape issues of interest to Trentino, have distinguished themselves for their innovative nature and the lasting effectiveness of the proposed actions, for their technical, scientific and aesthetic quality and for the proactive role played by the promoting bodies and clients.

The Thematic Areas

The selection, now in its fourth edition, is divided into three distinct thematic areas:

Thematic Area A

Programming, planning and management initiatives

Dedicated to planning instruments, territorial and sector plans, rural development and regeneration plans, and public and private management initiatives relevant to the landscape.

Thematic Area B

Signs in the landscape

Dedicated to interventions aimed at modifying the physical characteristics of the territory through landscape redevelopment actions, recovery projects or new constructions of infrastructures, buildings and artefacts that consciously express objectives of high landscape quality within a contemporary vision of the relationship with the physical and cultural context in which they are located.

Thematic Area C

Culture, education and participation

Dedicated to initiatives aimed at promoting landscape culture through awareness-raising and communication initiatives, public participation, training and education, research and documentation.
