The theme: AS FOUND
 In landscape architecture and urbanism, architecture and heritage studies the concept site is gaining increasing attention. What is found on the site, the uses and the interpretations of it have become determining aspects for the theoretical investigation as well as the design, preservation and transformation of the post-industrial urban landscape.
The theme As Found will also be explored in academic paper sessions with scholars from a wide range of disciplines. The sessions are: Natural Processes - Large Scale Development - Sites of Representation - Finding Modern Sites - Open Space Design - Forgotten Spaces - Finding with the Body - Alternative Strategies in Urban Planning - Values and Methods in Cultural Heritage - Education - Parks and Cemeteries - GPS analysis - Urban Landscape Transformation. See the programme, meet the participants and read the papers.
