A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The 73rd issue of the 4D Journal of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art is a special issue in honour of the 35th IFLA Europe Conference in Budapest, 17-20 October 2024, and provides an insight into the 40 years of Hungarian landscape architecture between the IFLA Europe Conferences in Hungary, in Siófok in 1984 and Budapest in 2024. The special issue is structured in five major chapters, each of which has been coordinated by a colleague and compiled by several authors with expertise in each of the priority themes. As the length of the journal does not allow for a detailed and exhaustive coverage of each topic, the aim was to provide an overview of the most important changes and developments in planning, research, education and legislation over the last four decades, with a special chapter on volunteering, which also highlights the social significance of landscape architecture. The main theme of the XXII IFLA conference, held in Siófok from 26 to 29 September 1984, was 'The Urban Fringe', as translated by Mihály Mőcsényi, which has been a recurring central theme of many landscape architecture (and other) conferences since then. The conference was memorable in more ways than one. It was the first time that landscape architects from the 'socialist countries', including the Soviet Union, participated in an IFLA event. In addition to its professional, friendship building and financial aspects, the Congress was also a political success. The Western participants called it the 'Congress of the Heart', while the Central and Eastern Europeans called it the 'Congress of Druzhba (Friendship in Russian)'. In the 40 years since the Siófok conference, Hungary's political and economic situation and the priorities in landscape architecture have changed a lot. The political squeeze, which slowly eased towards the end of the 1980s, was replaced by the social and ecological challenges of the millennium, which, in addition to the continuous development of training content in a quality-oriented manner, aimed at harmonising the ...
