Climate change and socio-political crises generate geographies in motion, where human and non-human migrations reshape territories, values, and ways of living. From the melting of glaciers that reveals new ecologies to the forced displacement of environmental migrants across deserts and seas, the landscape emerges as an unstable yet productive field of transformation. This research asks how design disciplines can interpret and act within this shifting condition: not by fixing forms, but by developing strategies to read, mediate, and project futures in fragmented, accelerated, and often conflictual scenarios. The aim of the GLAS’ research is to articulate a role for landscape architecture capable of integrating ecological, social, and aesthetic dimensions into new frameworks for inhabiting a migratory world.
