Dear Landscape

How do the people view their landscape? Dialogue with residents and visitors on the ground.

A lot of knowledge concerning the landscape in the regions has already been gathered, but it is not really known how the people experience and appreciate their environment. Yet the way people perceive the landscape is a crucial point of the European Landscape Convention: it is the basis for the formulation of “landscape quality objectives”.

In the People-to-People project Dear Landscape, architects Marlies Vermeulen and Remy Kroese enter the daily landscape experiences and stories of citizens on the map as part of their Dear Hunter research work. They applied their own special research technique, gaining first-hand insights in direct contact with residents and visitors by living and working locally in a container. They spent a month each at six locations in the Euregio and asked: What’s your favourite place in the landscape? What do you like there? What can you show us or tell us?
