Full of Life, the seventh edition of Landscape Architecture Europe, celebrates landscape architecture as a vital force for life, beauty, and transformation. Featuring 42 diverse projects from across Europe—ranging from built environments to conceptual designs—this richly illustrated volume explores how spatial design can foster care, collaboration, and change amid social and ecological challenges. Accompanied by insightful essays and portraits, the book highlights how landscape architects embrace diversity, surprise, and uncertainty to shape resilient and inspiring spaces.

OKRA is proud to showcase two key projects:

• Catharijnesingel (Utrecht): a 20-year project to restore the city canal, going beyond historical and ecological preservation. It symbolises a pivotal element in the revitalisation of the station area, transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly, green urban space that beautifully blends old and new. The project plays a crucial role in creating a climate-adaptive city centre, addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
• Bobigny’s former deportation station (France):  for this project, the landscape has been given a role as a narrator and curator of the history of the place. The complex layered history is depicted in a layered way similarly to what one would find in a memorial park and thus takes the visitor by the hand into the past.
