The meeting’s theme Beyond Borders invites you to reflect on the visible and invisible boundaries that shape our landscapes, societies, and our profession. The European Landscape Architecture Student Association (ELASA) team of “Czechoslovakian” students has prepared an engaging program that will guide you through the landscape architecture of these two neighboring countries, exploring how different types of borders are formed, and how they can be understood, challenged, or bridged through design.
