CALL FOR IDEAS PROPOSALS
The 2017 IFLA APR Congress will be held in Bangkok, Thailand from the 2nd to the 5th of November this year, organized by the Thai Association of Landscape Architects (TALA)
The organizing committee is excited to have launched the congress and its theme of “Blue, Green, Culture” during the Festival of Landscape Architecture held in Canberra, Australia in October 2016. We are now calling for abstracts on the ideas of “Blue”, “Green”, and “Culture” in landscape architecture.
We encourage you to interpret the congress themes yourselves as one of the goals of this years’ congress is to explore our different interpretations of “Blue”, “Green”, and “Culture” and how they intersect in our respective home countries and practice methods.
