Lecture by Maria Gabriella Trovato, Norwegian University of Life Science (NMBU)
Her most recent research focuses on Landscape in Emergency, Nordic Network for Landscapes and Welfare, HORIZON 2020 on Migration governance, Women in Scandinavian Landscape Architecture, EuropeAid project on Landscape Assessment and waste management, MEDSCAPES project funded by the ENPI/CBCMED, Landscape Atlas for Lebanon, and on FLRM (Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism) project funded by FAO and MOA. She has worked in several countries, teaching landscape architecture at undergraduate and graduate programs, seminars, and design workshops in Europe, Canada, Africa, and the Middle East.
As an architect practicing and teaching landscape design, Maria Gabriella is interested in investigating new forms of urban living in a world of change and fluxing conditions. New challenges, like climate change, depletion of natural resources, conflicts between globalization and local development, and re-localization of war refugees are constantly shaping new equilibrium. It urges us to respond to them by investigating and proposing combinations of ecological performance and design culture.
