Lost Landscapes – Lola Landscape Architects

Rotterdam-based landscape architects LOLA (“Lost Landscapes”), winners of the Rotterdam-Maaskant Prize for Young Architects 2013, design and study landscapes that are forgotten, derelict or on the verge of transformation. Since its start in 2006, the agency has worked on conceptual and realisable projects in urban, peripheral and natural areas. LOLA combines knowledge of large-scale ecosystems with their own ideas about space, applying an open attitude that enables them to work collaboratively with other specialists, such as garden designer Piet Oudolf and the urbanists at MAXWAN. The agency shapes sublime experiences in both city and landscape in an individual way, revealing new romanticism.
