She is leading several Eu funded projects, and her work continues to engage environmental technological design, landscape ecology, and economic valuation as an evolving integrated framework, linking nature-based solutions’ performance assessment, economic valuation of ecosystem services, climate mitigation, and urban resilience capacity building. Motivation for TELOS project: Through active participation in TELOS, Maria expects to contribute – leveraging her background and experiences in the field of the Landscape Economy – to the dissemination, at an international level, of the relevance of the multiple social and economic benefits provided by nature-based solutions towards climate neutral, resilient, healthy, inclusive, and equitable neighborhoods and cities.

  • Giulia Marredda, Team Member: Giulia Marredda is a Landscape Architect graduated at “La Sapienza” University of Rome. Her thesis in environmental design concerned the implementation of several solutions with different naturality gradients within the complex context of Port Island, in Gdansk. Thanks to that she was able to approach and be interested in concepts such as climate mitigation, nature-based soutions, blue-green infrastructure and ecosystem services. Motivation for TELOS project: Giulia is thrilled to be part of TELOS, as the project allows her to expand her knowledge of the landscape and its impact in economic terms, through a multidisciplinary and transnational approach.

The Netherlands: LE:NOTRE Institute

  • Jeroen de Vries, Team Coordinator: Jeroen de Vries, landscape architect, is a researcher at the LE:NOTRE Institute. His research focuses on food governance, the design of foodscapes in metropolitan areas, the productivity of different typologies of UA, and strategies to integrate these in the spatial design of urban and peri-urban areas. Jeroen combines work as a professional practitioner, lecturer, and researcher. He coordinated the theme of foodscapes in the LE:NOTRE Landscape Forums in Rome, Zagreb, Bratislava, and Rimini. Jeroen is active in a number of European educational and research projects that foster the quality in landscape education, research and practice. His mission is to support the academic community and the profession of landscape architecture on a European level. Motivation for TELOS project: The TELOS project offers a unique possibility to contribute to an often neglected aspect of landscape planning. Jeroen is motivated to include various dimensions of economy to develop landscapes with the lens of a common good - the landscape belongs to all.

  • Juan Jose Galan Vivas, Team Member: Juanjo Galan-Vivas is an Associate Professor in the Urban Planning Department of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain). From 2015 to 2020, he served in a similar position at Aalto University (Finland). His teaching and research focus on landscape planning, landscape design, sustainable development, regional and urban planning, and, on a more general level, on the intersections between social and ecological systems. He coordinated the Sierra Calderona Strategic Plan (2013-2014) and the AELCLIC project for the Adaptation of European Landscapes to Climate Change (2018-2020). From 2017 to 2020 he was the promoter and chair of the Landscape Observatory of Finland. Motivation for TELOS project: The configuration and evolution of the landscape are highly influenced by economic processes framing the interactions between people and the environment. The TELOS project gives an opportunity, in landscape architecture education, to align those processes with the generation of more sustainable, inclusive, resilient, and democratic landscapes.
