🌿 IFLA Europe is pleased to launch the third edition of its travelling exhibition: IFLA Europe EXhibition 2026.

Entitled "Reconnecting Landscape", the exhibition will open in Riga on 3 September 2026 during the annual IFLA Europe Delegates’ Meeting.

Featuring 66 projects from 25 countries, the exhibition offers a broad overview of the latest developments in European landscape architecture. It also demonstrates the diverse ways in which the theme of Reconnecting Landscape can be interpreted and translated into practice across Europe.

The selected projects highlight landscape as a design environment with the potential to reconnect ecological, cultural and social threads across multiple levels. Landscape architecture has a unique ability to shape spaces and restore relationships where they have been severed. Through regeneration, adaptation and the renewed use of places, it can reconnect people, spaces and values.

At the heart of the project is the concept of a travelling exhibition. Packaged exhibition materials will be distributed to delegates of IFLA Europe’s National Associations, providing a backdrop for meetings, seminars and discussions on landscape architecture across Europe.

We hope the exhibition will embark on a successful journey and, much like travel itself, create opportunities to exchange knowledge and promote the benefits of a collaborative, responsible and caring approach to our shared—and newly reconnected—spaces.

🌱 Shaping meaningful places, one landscape at a time

At BALA, we believe these challenges deserve more than quick fixes.
They deserve landscape architects.
