The Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) at the University of Edinburgh is hosting two related events celebrating the launch of the Journal of Landscape Architecture’s (JoLA) forthcoming special issue publication focusing on wildfires: a hybrid roundtable author discussion and a public exhibition of work featured in the journal.

The JoLA Wildfires issue features topics including fire-resilient regional planning and design approaches; post-fire ecosystem evolution, composition and structure; fire management and community protection; pre-and post-fire landscape analysis and scenario building; fire tracking systems and fire-conscious political and legislative frameworks.

A roundtable author’s discussion will take place on Monday, 23 June at 2:30 pm both online and in person. This event coincides with a launch of an exhibition of large-format prints of visual material published in the JoLA issue. The exhibition will be on public display on Monday, 23 June (9:00-1:00) and Tuesday, 24 June (2:00-6:00). Both events will take place in West Court in the Edinburgh College of Art’s Main building.
