Biodiversity in an urban context, interaction between infrastructure and landscape, process urbanism, a closer look at Iceland’s utilization of geothermal energy and the deployment of residues from the Norwegian oil industry. Through projects from the Nordic countries, the EXPO exhibition New Nordic Landscapes demonstrates how landscape architecture is about so much more than making things look pretty. Landscape architecture can supply sustainable solutions, promote health and create better living conditions for people in both cities and rural regions. Closely linked to the title of the EXPO in Shanghai 2010, “Better Cities, Better Life”, the exhibition presents sensuous experiences of landscape design and calls attention to the importance of finding new and alternative planning methods: Strategies that emphasize conscious use of natural resources and combines the latest in technology and global know- how with awareness of local conditions, culture and identity. A close relationship with nature and the pursuit of balance between utilizing, developing and protecting natural resources and landscapes are traditionally important factors in Nordic cultural history. These considerations have become even more important in the light of current environmental challenges. Therefore, the Nordic Ministers of Culture focus on landscape architecture as a means to sustainable urban development, sensitive and efficient land use and the promotion of Nordic competences during EXPO in Shanghai 2010 “The Nordic Countries are frontrunners in relation to sustainable urban development and efficient land use. Particularly within the field of design, architecture and landscape planning, creative and innovative Nordic forces are thriving. The exhibition ‘New Nordic landscapes’ is an excellent example of this, which I am certain, will prove inspirational to the many thousand visitors to the World EXPO in Shanghai”, says the Danish Minister of Culture, and Chair of Nordic Council of Ministers’ cultural collaboration, Per Stig Møller. NEW NORDIC LANDSCAPES is initiated and financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers as part of the overall globalization strategy of the Nordic Ministers of Culture. With this strategy, the ministers have kick-started several initiatives, which focus on creative industries and profiling of Nordic culture through literature, film and landscape architecture. The exhibition is developed by Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration with Norsk Form – Foundation for Design and Architecture in Norway, The Nordic House in Reykjavik, The Swedish Museum of Architecture and Museum of Finnish Architecture. New Nordic Landscapes is on display at the Nordic lighthouse during EXPO in Shanghai 2010 - from 1 June to 15 August 2010.

DenmarkProcess Urbanism
SLA – Urbanity | Strategy | Landscape has developed a landscape inspired planning method called process urbanism.
SLA does not regard nature and the city as opposites. The city is part of nature’s ecosystem and vice versa. There has to be a balance and a direct synergy effect between the many dynamic elements. As an example of this, in a project for the city of Greve, SLA placed a part of the city’s beach in front of the city hall.
Knowledge about wind, water, light, energy, circu l ation, politics, health, urban life, density, sustainability etc. is collected to create one urban ecosystem filled with poetry and surprises.
The Danish contribution is curated by Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration with SLA. SLA is a Copenhagen-based architectural office working with urbanity, strategy and landscape.

Greenland Nuuk South
”Nuuk South – regional connections / local anchoring” is designed by Tegnestuen NUUK.
The project is a vision for the future development of Nuuk and the landscape on the south side of the Ameralik Fjord. The project aims to create new structural connections and transitions between Nuuk and the surrounding region, while at the same time securing a sustainable development, which respects the unique qualities of the land-scape and ensures development of recreational areas, business and tourism.
The Greenlandic contribution is organized and curated by Solveig Lee Folling Larsen, Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration with architects Peter Barfoed, Sofia Johansson and Christian Teller from Tegnestuen Nuuk.

Biodiversity in an urban context, interaction between infra-structure and landscape and process urbanism. A closer look at Iceland’s utilization of geothermal energy and the deployment of residues from the Norwegian oil industry. Through projects from the Nordic countries, the exhibition “New Nordic Landscapes” demonstrates how landscape architecture is about so much more than making things look pretty: Used strategically, it has the potential to supply solu tions that promote health and create better living con di - tions for people in both cities and rural regions. Developed by Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration between the Nordic countries, “New Nordic Landscapes” presents sen - su ous experiences of landscape design and highlights the strategic role of landscape architecture in sus tainable urban development and large scale planning.
The exhibition is initiated and financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers as part of the overall globalization strategy of the Nordic Ministers of Culture.
New Nordic Landscapes is developed by Danish Architecture Centre in collaboration with Norsk Form – Foundation for Design and Architecture in Norway, The Nordic House in Reykjavik, The Swedish Museum of Architecture and Museum of Finnish Architecture.

IcelandHellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant
Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant, south-west Iceland is designed by Landslag landscape archi-tecture office, and TARK architects.
Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant is a geother-mal plant harnessing hot water (up to 230°C) to meet increasing demands for electricity and hot water in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. The plant is positioned on the Hengill volcanic ridge approxi-mately 30 kilometres east of Reykjavik.
The Icelandic contribution is organized and curated by Guja Dögg Hauksdóttir, architect FAI, on behalf of The Nordic House in Reykjavik and FÍLA – Association of Icelandic Landscape Architects.

Norway The Geopark
The Geopark, Kjerringholmen, Stavanger is de sign ed by architects Helen & Hard and the Norwegian Petroleum Museum in cooperation with local youth groups.
The Geopark is an experimental urban space, which tests new ways of reusing resources from the petroleum sector. This industry’s geological and technological expertise, production methods and materials have been applied to create an activity park particularly for children.
The Norwegian contribution is organized and curated by Norsk Form – Foundation for Design and Architecture in Norway, executed by Nina Berre, Director, Matti Lucie Arentz, Head of Exhibitions, and Christoffer Olavsson Evju, Landscape Architect.

Sweden Nya Årstafältet
Årstafältet is designed by landscape architects LOLA (Sweden) in collaboration with architects HabiterAutrement:SKA (France/Switzerland).
LOLA’s competition proposal for Årstafältet takes great care in directing a semi-urban park field towards a holistic, sustainable and demo-cratic future. Today the field is awaiting a new identity after the surrounding infrastructure has been repositioned, and after sociological and cultural conditions have redefined the needs for the open space with its variable qualities. LOLA proposes an energizing park, where quality of life is not a designer dream, but a generic force driving the many levels of acti vity, an accessible agenda of sustainability and a deep understan -ding of cyclic conditions.
The Swedish contribution is organized and curated by PhD Malin Zimm, Architect, on behalf of The Swedish Museum of Architecture.

Finland Vuosaari Hill
Vuosaari Hill, Helsinki is designed by Eeva Byman, Ria Ruokonen / Maisema-arkkitehdit Byman & Ruokonen Oy Landscape Architects; Taina Tuominen, Maria Haikala, Else Kaloinen, Kari Manninen, Susanna Pimenoff / FCG Finnish Consulting Group Oy; Jukka Toivonen, Pirjo Laulumaa / City of Helsinki.
The hill is built of surplus soil generated at con-struction sites. Intact native topsoil and vegetation were salvaged and transplanted here to recreate biotopes typically found in the Finnish natural landscape. The unique landscape attracts both wildlife and visitors, and will be expanded to the nearby landfill.
The Finnish contribution is organized by The Museum of Finnish Architecture in collaboration with The Finnish Association of Landscape Archi-tects, MARK. Curator: Meri Mannerla Magnusson, MARK.
