In November, the third joint survey of the Federal Chamber of Architects and the Federal Chamber of Engineers on the economic impact of the Corona pandemic on architecture and engineering offices took place. 4,603 planning offices participated, including 2,702 architectural offices.

Nevertheless, the situation remains tense, with as many as 35 of the survey participants stating negative economic consequences.

Anzeige Text im Grid: Nein

Application in the online procedure. Deadline on 26 January 2021

The bdla has announced the German Landscape Architecture Award for the 15th time. With the more intensive use of urban and landscape spaces, ever higher demands are being placed on the performance of the environment. Urban growth and the simultaneous emptying of rural regions, climate change, the energy transition and economic challenges are generating pressure to adapt and conflicts. With great effort, existing infrastructures are currently being adapted to the changed conditions and entire systems are being rebuilt. For the development and realisation of these new systems, a fundamental rethinking is required at all planning levels. The term "green infrastructure" emphasises the importance of green space, open space and landscape planning for the provision of public services.
