The ECLAS 2026 Conference, titled TAKE CARE – Planetary Landscape Architecture, will take place from 16–19 September 2026 at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment (A+BE), TU Delft, the Netherlands.
Theme
This edition calls for landscape architecture to be understood as a practice of care, extending beyond spatial design to address planetary, ecological and social urgencies. It foregrounds responsibility, attentiveness, and action at all scales — global, regional, local, and microbial.
Tracks
The conference invites contributions across five interconnected tracks:
– Reframing Our Worldviews – Design Methods and Tools – Engaging Diverse Voices – Urgent Transitions – Transformative Education
Both traditional paper presentations and alternative formats (e.g. visual essays) are encouraged, contributing to a programme structured around a Dissemination Day and an Exchange Day.
Key Dates
Abstract deadline: 31 January 2026 Review & selection: February–March 2026 Extended abstracts due: 15 June 2026 Presenter registration deadline: 31 May 2026 General registration deadline: 20 August 2026
Organisers
Hosted by the Dutch School of Landscape Architecture (DSL) — a consortium of seven Dutch and Flemish academic institutions and the NVTL — the conference aims to create a space for ethically grounded, cross-disciplinary, and regenerative conversations in landscape architecture.
