In February 2025, the bdla Economic Forum and the preceding Young Landscape Architecture Workshop in Frankfurt am Main will focus on economic issues - for both established and young landscape architecture firms and their owners.
February 27, 2025: 5th Young Landscape Architecture Workshop
The Young Landscape Architecture Workshop will take a comprehensive and differentiated look at the topic of competitions. Nina Dvorak/Stefan Grieger, Christian Jürgensmann, René Rheims/Julia Biermann and Marianne Mommsen will examine the topic from different angles: Participants, supervisors and jury members. The experience reports of the colleagues regarding the processes and routines, the logic and dynamics of decision-making and the legal framework conditions for competitions and the subsequent negotiation procedure form the basis for a joint exchange. The event is organized in cooperation with the competition working group of the bdla.
February 28, 2025: 15th bdla Economic Forum
The economic forum will focus on practical approaches with regard to forms of cooperation. Innovative forms of cooperation and communication as well as legal aspects of planning alliances such as bidding consortiums, joint ventures or subcontractors will be considered. Selected office owners will report on integrated project alliances, landscape architecture offices as general planners, as subcontractors of a general contractor or general planner and on framework agreements for call-off services.
There will also be updates on digitalization and AI in planning offices and on the adequacy of the HOAI.
In addition to the presentations, the event places great importance on the exchange of ideas between colleagues. The Economic Forum is an information and discussion platform for all economically minded and active people in planning offices and authorities.
