Olympic Landscapes

We are glad to inform you that in conjunction with the exhibition Association of Landscape Architects of CIS (ALACIS) and Moscow Association of Landscape Architects (MOLA) will organize a seminar "Olympic Landscapes" on 21-22 March.

As you probably know, Sochi (Black Sea resort in southern Russia) has been selected as the city hosting winter Olympic Games in 2014. Therefore our professional landscape association MOLA has decided to prepare several events to support the idea of sustainable development of the Olympic site, one of them is "Olympic Landscapes" seminar.

Some well known international speakers as Mark Blackwell (EDAW, UK), Jie Hu (Tsinghua University, China), Tanos Sclavinitis (Greece) and Tore Edvard Bergaust (Dep. of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning, Norway) have agreed to take part in the seminar and will speak about Olympic landscape projects in their countries. This seminar is bilingual (English and Russian) with simultaneous translation provided.

This event is also supported by International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) (president Diana Menzis will attend the meeting) and Russian Union of Architects.

High level officials from Russian Olympic Committee and State Olympic Corporation are invited. During the seminar and panel discussions you will be able to contact all the participants and have a good professional discussion.

I welcome your participation in both exhibition and seminar , for more contacts please see information leaflets attached. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

With kind regards,
Ilya Mochalov - MOLA Chairman
