Present spanish urban landscape

we need more LA Bachelor Degrees

Future spanish urban landscape

The UPC (Polithechnical Univ. of Catalonia) landscape team prepared a LA Bachelor Degree program that waits aproval since 2010. The department of Planning is against.

The first Bachelor Degree in Landscape Architecture started in Madrid in 2010.

The only public Bachelor Degree in Landscape Architecture is in Aranjuez, Madrid,

since 2016. Not enabler.

We have nine 2y LA Master programs but…

Our LA are strangled.

Our threat is to sell our profession.

Beautiful images reflect art but no the 4D.

Art images do not reflect the benefits of LA.

Art images do not show how a project works along

the time.
