The Iranian Association of Greenery Engineers has joined the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). Iran has an ancient and influential tradition of formal garden design, and modern, university-based landscape architecture is finding fertile ground there.
A team of experts headed by IFLA president Diane Menzies recently visited Iran to become familiar with landscape design in the country, reported the Iranian news agency IRNA.
The team also toured historical landscape and gardens in Shiraz and Isfahan provinces.
Menzies delivered a lecture on the academic status of landscape architecture at Shiraz University’s Architecture Faculty. She also met Isfahan Municipality officials and discussed ways to safeguard the city’s historical landscape.
IFLA, based in France, represents the landscape architectural profession globally, providing leadership and networks supporting the development of the profession and its effective participation in the realization of attractive, equitable and sustainable environments.
In 2006, a team of students from Tehran’s Shahid Beheshti University won a Residential Design Award of Excellence from the ASLA.
