The self-healing capacity of natural systems is becoming severely threatened. The role of the landscape architect transcends boundaries, in integrating intangible values of culture, people, places, land, water, air, context and site-specific conditions into ecologically healthy places to meet present and future challenges. Landscape architects play a critical role in synthesizing a range of professional expertise and skills and are best trained to func- tion as members and heads of multi - disciplinary teams that can work on healing the Earth. IN T We come from a rich tradition of ecological wisdom and landscape aesthetics; a tradition S JU that can help us direct, distinguish and protect the ecological processes that will define the : future of the land and our habitats. The state of Kerala is symbolic of the juncture at which EDIT landscape architects stand today. Unquestionably God’s own country, its ecological heritage CR is abundant yet finite and fragile. How we will address the ecological processes inherent in age IM | this land, and across the world, through practice and academia, in the years to come, will be our lasting legacy as a profession. KKI The intent of the conference is to learn from pioneers, share with our peers, and educate , IDU policy makers in the role that landscape architects in India must play; a role that places us ALA M at the forefront of ecological processes and design practice.
