			File:MM IMG Miłosz Marciniak.jpg\|'''Miłosz Marciniak, Team Member''':Miłosz Marciniak holds PhD in engineering and technical sciences, specialising in landscape-related issues within spatial management and planning, and a MSc in Physical Geography and Landscape Shaping, with a specialisation in geomorphology. These two pillars of his education underpin his research and practical interests, in which landscape plays a central role—as a natural, spatial, and social system. Focus on landscape ecology and on applying landscape research to spatial planning. In his work, he applies physical geography methods in the context of new land-use development and the preservation of ecological connectivity, with particular emphasis on climatology (including contemporary climate change), hydrology, and soil and ground science. '''Motivation for LOLA''': The Gdańsk Bay area is an exceptionally diverse and ecologically rich landscape system—ranging from sandy dunes and cliffs to river deltas—one that deserves greater recognition and understanding. At the same time, these coastal ecosystems are under strong anthropogenic pressure: some have become embedded in the landscapes of port cities and their surroundings, while others are disappearing irreversibly. These changes occur both subtly and abruptly. I see participation in LOLA – Local Landscape System Labs as an inspiring and important opportunity to capture and communicate these processes and their significance, and to reflect on how they shape the identity of the Gdańsk Bay region, to which I feel particularly connected.

File:BeataDreksler.jpg\|'''Beata Dreksler, project coordinator at AUB''': Beata Dreksler is a landscape architect and associate professor at the American University of Beirut. She holds a PhD in landscape architecture from Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland. Beata has over 30 years of professional and academic experience across Europe, Central America, and the Middle East. Her projects have been featured in books and professional magazines and have received awards, including Best Public Space in Poland (2017). Her research explores landscape democracy and digital transformation in landscape planning and design. She is the Middle East and North Africa Trustee of the International Association for Community Development (IACD). '''Motivation for LoLa''': My motivation for engaging in the LoLa project comes from my interest in reading landscape as a living system—shaped by relationships, flows, and constant adaptation. Working in Lebanon has made this especially tangible, where everyday landscapes reveal how ecological processes and human practices intertwine under pressure. I find the living lab approach particularly valuable, as it grounds learning in real conditions—through observation, engagement, and reflection within the landscape itself. For me, LoLa is an opportunity to connect this situated, lived understanding with my teaching and to contribute to a broader exchange on landscape as an evolving system.
			File:Karim bacha.png\|'''Karim Bacha''': Karim Bacha is a lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the American University of Beirut and founder of Scapeworks, a landscape architecture and urban design studio with over 15 years of experience across the MENA region. His work spans cultural landscapes, territorial planning, and public realm design, while his academic interests focus on spatial representation, regenerative design, and emerging technology applications in landscape architecture. His teaching connects professional practice with critical and systems-based approaches to landscape. '''Motivation for LoLa''': The LoLa project offers a valuable framework for reading landscape as a dynamic system shaped by ecological, social, and spatial forces. In Lebanon, where environmental degradation, socio-economic instability, and territorial transformation are closely intertwined, this perspective is particularly urgent. LoLa opens a space for connecting local conditions to a wider international dialogue on systems thinking, territorial regeneration, and innovative forms of landscape learning.
			File:Monika Fabian.png\|'''Monika Fabian''': Monika Fabian is a landscape horticulturist, researcher, and full-time instructor at the Department of Landscape Architecture at the American University of Beirut. She holds master’s degrees from Corvinus University in Hungary and the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (CHIAM) in Greece. Her work focuses on urban landscapes in Mediterranean contexts, with a particular interest in green roofs and urban foodscapes as practical ways to improve sustainability and everyday urban life. Alongside her research, she teaches several courses for landscape architecture students, bringing together design thinking, ecological knowledge, and hands-on approaches. '''Motivation for LoLa''': Monika is motivated to join the Local Landscape Systems Lab because it offers a platform for education-focused organizations to engage in transformative co-creation with local communities and build practical local skills together.

			File:MM IMG Miłosz Marciniak.jpg\|'''Miłosz Marciniak, Team Member''':Miłosz Marciniak holds PhD in engineering and technical sciences, specialising in landscape-related issues within spatial management and planning, and a MSc in Physical Geography and Landscape Shaping, with a specialisation in geomorphology. These two pillars of his education underpin his research and practical interests, in which landscape plays a central role—as a natural, spatial, and social system. Focus on landscape ecology and on applying landscape research to spatial planning. In his work, he applies physical geography methods in the context of new land-use development and the preservation of ecological connectivity, with particular emphasis on climatology (including contemporary climate change), hydrology, and soil and ground science. '''Motivation for LOLA''': The Gdańsk Bay area is an exceptionally diverse and ecologically rich landscape system—ranging from sandy dunes and cliffs to river deltas—one that deserves greater recognition and understanding. At the same time, these coastal ecosystems are under strong anthropogenic pressure: some have become embedded in the landscapes of port cities and their surroundings, while others are disappearing irreversibly. These changes occur both subtly and abruptly. I see participation in LOLA – Local Landscape System Labs as an inspiring and important opportunity to capture and communicate these processes and their significance, and to reflect on how they shape the identity of the Gdańsk Bay region, to which I feel particularly connected.

She is also a member of the Board of the Revitalization Forum Association. In years 2009-2014, she was the head of GUT’s postgraduate studies on urban revitalization. She gained her professional experience in Poland, England, Germany and the United States. She is also a scholarship holder of the Kosciuszko Foundation in 2014. In years 2014-15, she has completed the SPURS Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. Her research interests and practice focus on widely understood revitalization of contemporary cities and its public space, also with the use of art and culture. '''Motivation for LOLA project:''' The LoLa project provides a valuable opportunity to expand knowledge in the field of landscape architecture by exposing to diverse perspectives, case studies, and interdisciplinary approaches. I believe that the LOLA project will help me develop both my theoretical knowledge and practical skills, while also inspiring a more critical and creative approach to landscape architecture. This experience would be an important step in my academic and professional development, enabling me to contribute more effectively to the design of meaningful and resilient environments.
