Towards a Nature-Inclusive Urban Environment

Marjan Ketner - Copijn Landschapsarchitecten

The facade plantings of Sawa, the tropical garden of Hotel Jakarta and the restoration of the formal gardens surrounding the Rijksmuseum have in common that they were designed by Copijn Landscape Architects. How do we create climate-adaptive places and meaningful urban nature in which flora, fauna and people feel comfortable?

In her lecture, Ketner shows how the integration of greenery and water not only adds ecological value, but also strengthens the urban environment on a systemic level.

In their design for Buitenstad in Hoorn, in cooperation with SVP Architectuur en Stedenbouw, Copijn shows how urban and landscape qualities come together in the design of a set of roofgardens and the physical connections with the local environment.

The winning design for the 'A New Building Culture' competition shows a nature-inclusive and biobased living environment, designed together with Orga Architect, De Urbanisten.
