If successful the project will also provide jobs for the youth in this remote town, fostering economic growth and community development. Read about the rehabilitation plan and repurposing of heritage buildings using traditional conservation techniques and sustainable materials.

Similar to the extreme heat in this region, Rajasthan in India experiences excessive hot temperatures throughout the year. To combat this heat, architects have to be creative without sacrificing the traditional building techniques that are part of Rajasthan’s charm.

In this issue, we also feature an unconventional landscape project for a family garden in Poland located on an island with a picturesque forest as its natural backdrop. The project family’s request was simple: they wanted a modern garden concept with space for their son to practice football and to maintain the forest landscape as much as possible. 
Saudi’s tourism industry has witnessed incredible growth in the past few years with new mega-projects being announced every few months. In light of the anticipated large-scale development that is underway, we take a look at the Saudi Green Initiative (SGI) which is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming to create a sustainable, greener future for all. This initiative is not only a testament to the Kingdom's commitment to environmental protection but also a blueprint for how landscape design can play a crucial role in achieving sustainability goals. Learn more about how the initiative will play an integral part in the Kingdom’s transformation in the coming years.

This month, we have inspiring features from the region, including the Dubai Mangroves Coastal Regeneration Project, which will see more than 100 million mangrove trees planted along 72 kilometers of Dubai’s coast. The project was designed in line with Dubai’s environmental goals and the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Master Plan, focusing on urban resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable planning. 
Furthermore we feature a story transports us to the heart of Montréal where we delve into the enchanting world of the sunken garden under at the Collège de Maisonneuve. Originally conceived in 1972 as part of the building's expansion, this hidden oasis has evolved into a captivating all-weather greenhouse, nestled between two pavilions in a Brutalist-style courtyard.
The addition of the glass roof has not only transformed the five-storey space but has also made the garden accessible year-round, regardless of weather conditions. What was once a simple courtyard has blossomed into a lush sanctuary, boasting mature trees and verdant greenery. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this sunken garden has become a vibrant hub for students, offering a serene retreat for relaxation, study, and socializing.
We also hear from Dubai-based Urban planner Rowan D’Arcy who provides a thoughtful reflection on what lessons the industry can learn from the recent Dubai Flood. He points out that if it taught us anything, it was “to design with nature, rather than against it.” 
For more insightful projects from Tashkent, Baku and more, please continue reading!

Finally, we are thrilled to introduce the newest green park in KSA - Al Urubah. As the first digitally driven park within the Green Riyhad program, this innovative green-blue infrastructure represents a ground breaking step forward in urban planning under extreme conditions. Designed to foster well-being and climate resilience in Saudi’s capital, Al Urubah is another sterling example of cutting-edge sustainable design in the region.

We hope you enjoy this month's issue and find inspiration in the projects featured within its pages.

Our cover story this month reveals how outdoor landscapes have been adapted for high-rise living. Whether it’s a skyscraper or a two storey apartment building, people need a connection with nature beyond the standard vertical garden. One of last year’s top trends in Landscape architecture was the use of smart technologies to elevate the design of urban spaces, which is at a premium, to make it more convenient, comfortable and accessible for residents. Sky Hills Residence in Dubai Science Park has done just that — currently under construction, off-plan development stands out for its commitment to fostering an outdoor lifestyle rarely seen in high-rise residences. Due for completion in 2026, NGS architects has ingeniously crafted a beach resort theme, that may be the first of its kind for high-rise buildings. The outdoor recreational area also features a 375m running track that loops around both towers and an elevated lazy river on the east side of Tower 2.
Another impressive project worth mentioning for its commitment to sustainable design is the newly opened Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort. With a near perfect natural setting amidst the lush mangroves and serene lagoons of RAK’s biodiverse landscape, I don’t think that LMS were too stretched when drawing up the landscaping plans. They capitalised on panoramic views of glittering waterways and thick-rooted mangrove ecosystems, home to beautiful pink flamingos.
The resort was designed to minimize its environmental footprint, with furniture and fittings within the resort crafted from sustainable wood and recycled fabrics and plastics utilized wherever possible. It also has its own greywater waste recycling, harnesses thermodynamic solar panels for water heating, and operates its own water bottling plant to provide local drinking water. 
We also have an article from UAE based Arborist, Mark Laurence, setting out why it’s so important to have healthy soil for tree planting.

As we step into a promising new year, we’re delighted to share some key expert insights into the anticipated trends for the region’s landscaping industry in 2024.
We’ve called upon our team of seasoned professionals and industry leaders to analyse the evolving landscaping and urban design industry and offer their valuable perspectives on what lies ahead. From sustainable practices becoming the norm to more cutting-edge technologies, we aim to equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that the coming year presents.

One of the highlights of this issue is an article on the concept of pixelation in home design. We delve into how this innovative approach is reshaping the aesthetics of residential landscapes, creating visually stunning and dynamic spaces that blur the lines between nature and technology. Discover the intersection of precision and creativity as we showcase a residential project in Kuwait that embraces pixelation as a guiding principle in redefining the modern home environment.

In addition to this, we feature a captivating article on the Kempegowda Airport in India, where landscaping takes center stage in the overall design of the new terminal two. This visionary project goes beyond the conventional expectations of airport architecture, demonstrating how thoughtful landscaping can transform a utilitarian space into a harmonious blend of functionality and natural beauty. Join us on a journey through the innovative features that make Kempegowda Airport a testament to the limitless possibilities of integrating landscaping into urban design.

In the spirit of collaboration, we encourage you to share your thoughts, projects, and success stories with us throughout the year. Let's continue to build a community that fosters growth, creativity and excellence in the regional landscaping industry.


I couldn’t think of a more fitting way for us to end the year than the recent Landscape Middle East Sustainability Awards 2023 that we held on the 15th of November in the opulent Atlantis the Royal, the Palm Dubai.  After a year of planning, we brought together over 500 industry professionals to recognise and honour outstanding achievements in landscape architecture and sustainability across the Middle East region.
With more than 30 awards presented, spanning various categories, including Lifetime Achievement, Prominent Professionals, Rising Stars, Distinguished Organizations, and Project Awards in Urban Landscape, Parks and Recreation, Tourism and Retail, as well as Landscape Art and Landscape Landmarks. The evening was summed up best by Ziad Amine, the Managing Partner of Landscape Middle East, when he expressed his gratitude to the event’s partners, the International Federation of Landscape Architects and the Saudi Society of Landscape Architects, who he said “share our dedication to advancing the landscape industry internationally and within the Middle East.” Before reminding the audience that “our anticipation for future collaborations knows no bounds."
One of the highlights of the evening was the announcement of a groundbreaking partnership between Landscape Middle East Magazine and Michael Haddad, the regional goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for Arab States. This partnership heralds the launch of the "Landscape For All" initiative, which aims to raise awareness about the paramount importance of inclusive landscape design, catering to the diverse needs of individuals, including those with disabilities and their families.


In this issue, Dubai-based NGS architects share their experience of remodeling a beautiful family home in Golf Grove villa, located in the exclusive Dubai Hills Estate enclave. 
Arborist, Mark Laurence explains how landscapers can generate healthy soils and promote regrowth by adopting the practice of Coppicing — a form of landscape management that simply put, utilises woody trees (wood chips) and shrubs to form a mulch that covers the soil.
We review a residential project in one of the busiest and most densely populated urban cities in the world; Life Ladprao: The Valley is located in Bangkok’s CBD district and its designers have used Biophilic design principles to create the project's main landscape concept—a natural valley that promises an adventurous experience. 
From one bustling metropolis to another, we feature The Spiral building in Manhattan, New York. Self-named as the world’s best tall building, in part due to the fact a landscape of The Spiral’s size has never been installed at or above 300 feet elevation in New York City before. With approximately 13,000 square feet of outdoor space, the building has cascading landscaped terraces and hanging gardens that climb the tower in a spiraling motion to create a unique, continuous green ribbon that wraps around its façade, suppling each office floor with readily accessible terrace space. 
Be sure to keep reading to hear more about some of the best projects coming out of India, China and Thailand. 

Enjoy the issue!

Thailand’s capital Bangkok was last year named as the most liveable city for expats in Asia and the second best city worldwide based on its affordability and connectivity among other things. In our February issue, we feature two of the city’s most recent transformative urban development and landscape projects that seal its reputation for future urban living in Asia.

Read our cover story on page 18 to learn about The Forestias, a residential masterplan with a large forest at its heart. Situated on the outskirts of Bangkok, it provides a template for future urban living in Thailand. The pioneering development focusses on three primary themes of serving the community, promoting intergenerational co-living and connecting with nature. 

We also feature the iconic Chao Phraya Sky Park, a new landmark in the city that came to life against the backdrop of the pandemic in 2020. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration opened this remarkable public space, which had previously been left abandoned for almost 40 years. 

Now the halted infrastructure project has been given a second lease of life as the newest Bangkok landmark and the nation's first pedestrian bridge park spanning a river situated in Bangkok's most significant historical area. The 360-degree view connects the city‘s historic town and modern skyline with a single glance.

In typical Dubai fashion, 2023 kicked off in high gear with one of the world’s most iconic ultra-luxury hotels opening in the emirate to much fan-fare. We spoke to the Landscape architecture firms behind the famed Atlantis The Royal ahead of the big reveal to hear about the challenges and design processes involved in landscaping this mega project, which had its opening date delayed by two years due to the pandemic (to the benefit of the landscape). See page 14

Also in this issue, we gain insight into what it takes to build a career in this industry with an interview with George El Khoury, senior project manager for landscaping at U&A, an architecture and urban planning firm in the UAE.

Beyond our regional and local coverage, we transverse to the ends of the earth to learn more about landscapes from around the world.  Peatlands in Península Mitre is located at the southernmost city in the world in southern Argentina. It is an invaluable natural carbon sink now designated as a Natural Protected Area. 20,000 years ago, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), these lands were covered by ice and while the landscape is still harsh to this day, it’s also exceptionally beautiful. 

We’ve included project proposals from architecture firm Luca Curci Architects, in collaboration with Tim Fu Design, who have designed Floating City, a project proposal for a sustainable floating city for 50,000 people.

As World Cup fever sweeps over the Middle East, we take a look at the design of the 40,000-seat Al Janoub Stadium— the first new football stadium commissioned for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar. The design process for the stadium which was built by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and Aecom started along with Qatar’s new precinct, back in March 2013. As one of the eight venues for the Qatar World Cup, Al Janoub Stadium will host group and quarter-final matches of the tournament and is located in Al Wakrah, a coastal city 23km south of Doha connected to the capital via the Red Line of the new Doha Metro system. Although it’s currently being used as a 40,000-seat football stadium for the 2022 World Cup, it will be reduced to a 20,000-seat capacity following the tournament. 

We move from Qatar to Italy for another one of its kind projects by Italian architect Fabio Mazzeo who designed The sculptural villa at Cala Volpe in Sardinia. The architect says the project interweaves art, design and craftsmanship in this idyllic coastal villa and is unique due to the links between the building and its natural setting. 

Rising from the Hudson River in New York, Little Island is a new public park designed by London based, Heatherwick Studio that shelters three new performance venues. The $260 million, 2.4-acre project was designed as an escape haven for people and wildlife in the middle of the rather large island of Manhattan. It’s a green oasis, held above the water by sculptural planters, and located just a short walk across a gangplank from Manhattan’s Lower West Side.

In our projects section this month, we feature a newly built urban school in Shenzhen, China, created by New York based Studio Link-Arc. The low-rise composition of the building allows the school to create an open oasis within a densely packed residential community that allows students to move freely between indoors and outdoors. 
We also feature the the first female architect to design a Mosque in the UAE. British educated, Saudi Sumaya Dabbagh built the mosque in Dubai in the name of the Late Abdulkhaliq Gargash.

In the August issue of Landscape ME, we meet the women who are on a mission to save Beirut’s Pine Forest, one of the last remaining public green forests in the city. Moukarzel Sarkissian and Dima Rachid are the founders of studiolibani, a landscape architect and urban strategist studio with operations in Dubai, Beirut, and London. They believe that “a resilient urban Beirut” is the answer to the myriad of challenges that the city is currently facing. Tackling issues of urban resilience, climatic resilience, social equality, economic growth, and emergency response are also on their agenda. Read more on page 18.

We also feature veteran Landscape architect and author, Edward Flaherty in this issue. Ed reflects on his international career spanning 50 years across Europe, the US and Middle East. See page 8

Staying with the theme of connecting our youth to nature while studying, we showcase a nature inspired vision for the new Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in the US. New York Landscape architects OSD and lead architects Polk Stanley Wilcox are building a first-of-its-kind medical school in Arkansas in the US. The campus is designed to seamlessly connect with the surrounding woodlands and the Ozarks at-large. Page 28

In this summer edition, we feature a number of sustainable projects; from a local family home in the UAE to an upcoming Saudi net zero city. A landscape architecture start-up called studioCREATE is also trending with their refreshing approach to work; the threesome believe that remote working is the way forward for designers and architects. In their own words, they intend to “inject some fresh energy into the Middle East design scene and shake things up a little.” See page 16

On page 12 read all about a multi-sensory art experience that is shaped by the environment. Set to be completed in 2024, it is the latest offering to Saadiyat Cultural District in Abu Dhabi. 

See page 6 to learn about Saudi’s latest futuristic project called ALNAMA Smart City, which is set to become a zero-carbon destination. Derived from the Arabic word “thrive”, Riyadh’s smart city is planned to provide 11,000 residential units for a population of 44,000 people. The 1,000-hectare development will create 10,000 jobs in various sectors including green-tech industries to create a green circular economy for the city.


In this issue we look at a range of projects spanning from the UAE and Bahrain to Vietnam and China. We are always looking to champion projects that leave their mark on the environment in positive ways, one such example in this issue is the new Four Seasons Hotel in Bahrain Bay. As the showpiece hotel of the new Bahrain Bay development it’s wonderful to see the scope of greenery and native planting that is incorporated into its design. 
NEOM, billed as Saudi Arabia’s future city in the kingdom’s northwest with its own set of rules and regulations, has launched its own greening initiative with the promise of rehabilitating at least 1.5 million hectares of land. NEOM’s initiative will see the return of 100 million native trees, shrubs and grasses by 2030 to aid the restoration of degraded land and repair of wildlife habitats. 
Projects in The Sustainable City in Dubai and in Beijing are also featured for their contribution to biodiversity in urban communities.  

Enjoy the issue!


We talk a lot as a professional community here in the Middle East about ‘Urban landscaping,’ which effectively means creating ‘green belts’ in densely populated urban areas. Indeed, our May issue highlights a handful of such projects located in China. 
Back in the UAE, Baharash Bagherian, landscape architect and founder of Dubai based URB details how Green Infrastructure is helping cities become resilient and future-proof. Read about the positive shift in the planning of infrastructure to accommodate a rising population and the ever-changing needs of urban dwellers. 
It was wonderful to hear from the Indian spiritual leader Sadhguru this month demonstrating how to fertilise deserts on his visit to the UAE, as part of his 100-day motorbike journey from Britain to India to highlight the Save the Soil movement. The 65-year-old climate change activist praised the UAE’s leadership efforts in soil preservation, saying they could become an “ecological hub”.
“While the rest of the world is busy turning fertile land to desert, it’s wonderful to see here [in the UAE] how deserts are being converted to fertile land,” he said. His mission will take him to 26 countries where he will meet with world leaders and policy makers to get soil regeneration on their national agenda’s. 
We wish him every success in his campaign, which is a collaboration with Conscious Planet to safeguard soil for future generations and will no doubt feature heavily when the Emirates host next year’s COP28 climate summit.
