It is now undergoing an even more \u003Cbr \/\u003Espectacular rise as it takes a prominent place \u003Cbr \/\u003Ewithin society and becomes established as an \u003Cbr \/\u003Eimportant concern.\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe present exhibition hints at the richness, \u003Cbr \/\u003Ediversity and complexity of this fascinating field. \u003Cbr \/\u003EThe first section deals with theory and history \u003Cbr \/\u003Eand provides a conceptual framework for the \u003Cbr \/\u003Eexhibition. The visitor is invited to discover the \u003Cbr \/\u003Einfluence of the history of gardens and the \u003Cbr \/\u003Eimportant role played by the pioneers of Swiss \u003Cbr \/\u003Elandscape architecture.

The last \u003Cbr \/\u003Esection, \u201cnouvelle vague\u201d, presents the works of \u003Cbr \/\u003Ea new generation of landscape architects. The \u003Cbr \/\u003Echosen examples intend to highlight the \u003Cbr \/\u003Ecentrality of a profession, which thoroughly \u003Cbr \/\u003Echanges our spatial, visual and social reality.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Architecture Exhibition"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStop by the Architecture atrium to see this impressive event.
