PROBLEMS Situation of Landscape Architect Profession in Europe Based on the Teamwork Supporting the Regulation of the Profession Professional Recognition Assistance (PRA) IFLA Europe Sytuacja zawodu architekta krajobrazu w Europie na podstawie prac zespołu zajmującego się wspieraniem regulacji zawodu Professional Recognition Assistance (PRA) IFLA EU Urszula Forczek-Brataniec DOI:10.30825/5.ak.152.2018.59.2 SUMMARYThe International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA EU) is an organization bringing together European landscape architects. Since 2000 it has been a part of IFLA World; previously the federation was an independent institution under the name of EFLA. One of the main aims of both the European division of IFLA and the former EFLA was to strengthen and promote the profession of landscape architect. For years now there have been projects aimed at recognizing the condition and position of the profession in European countries. One of them is the project entitled Professional Qualification Directive (PQD) led by Professor Fritz Auweck. It resulted in obtaining the data on the subject of profession regulation. This activity was continued in the Professional Recognition Assistance project (PRA) which supported associated organisations in regulating the profession at a national level. The working group is composed of: Tony Williams, the President of IFLA EU, Hermann Georg Gunnlaugsson, the vice president, Professor Fritz Auweck, PGD project manager, Urszula Forczek-Brataniec, Secretary General of IFLA EU. The data so far available indicates that the profession is currently regulated in 7 EU countries on the basis of the chamber system. In Scandinavian countries the existing system has no professional chambers; in other countries, however, the regulations take place at local level or are non-existent. Additionally, the rights to exercise the profession differ in countries which have the issue regulated. The collected material outlines a wide range of possibilities for stabilisation of the profession at different levels. It demonstrates the way of providing a legal framework for the profession and a range of possibilities for exercising it. It also allows us to perceive the matter of professional regulations in Poland from a different perspective. Education and Promotion of the Proffesion of a Landscape Architect in Poland Kształcenie i promocja zawodu architekta krajobrazu w Polsce Irena Niedźwiecka-Filipiak DOI:10.30825/5.ak.153.2018.59.2 SUMMARYPracticing the profession of a landscape architect should be connected with its common social understanding. What is of key importance for this job is the legal provisions supporting the planning and designing of landscape. Landscape architecture as a field of study has been present at many universities in Poland since 2000, and its curriculum has been subject to modifications resulting from the changing legal conditions. Universities have also verified the recruitment conditions, specialties and program of teaching. These issues are also being discussed and agreed upon within the framework of the Union of Universities for the Development of the Field of Study of Landscape Architecture, as well as by professional associations that care for the promotion and quality of this profession, but also seek to obtain professional qualifications. This article presents an analysis of these issues in the context of promotion of the profession of a landscape architect in Poland. PRESENTATIONS Earthen Forms in Landscape Architecture – from Geoglyphs to Contemporary Urban Parks Formy ziemne w architekturze krajobrazu - od geoglifów po współczesne parki miejskie Karolina Porada DOI:10.30825/5.ak.154.2018.59.2 SUMMARYThe shaping of land forms brings significant cultural values to landscape architecture and it has been stimulating unconventional solutions and innovations for centuries – if only in terms of construction technology and their protection and maintenance. Man-made slopes, terraces, ramparts, mounds, embankments or pits are recognizable artifacts, some of which are at the same time archetypes. The aim of the article is to present a short review of the use of earthen forms in landscape design, as well as to define how their genesis has changed over the centuries, from symbolic values to such motivations as ecology, recycling or reclamation of post-industrial areas Shaping the New Landscape of the Main Metropolis of Erbil Kurdistan in the 21St Century SUMMARYThe aim of the article is to present the urban landscape of Erbil, a city with a history dating back to antiquity, the only one in the world inhabited for about 8,000 years, along with the Citadel which was once a fortress and at the same time a city. Collection of source materials and research on urban planning of the city was finished in situ in 2018. The city was booming in Erbil in 2004 years after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship. Over the past 15 years, the area of Erbil has increased several times. It has a characteristic circular urban plan that is unique, atypical and the only one of such scale in the shape of successive districts in the world. Demographic changes are presented, associated with the multi-fold population increase in recent years, including in connection with the adoption of many thousands of refugees of multicultural provenance. The city’s growth stimulates changes in the urban landscape, including: shopping streets, housing estates shaped individually for different nationalities and their inhabitants, as well as jobs and new city parks. In connection with the lack of literature on cities in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, urbanism and architecture, the article is a pioneering work presenting previously unknown, original values of Erbil – the capital of Kurdistan. |
