The Quest for the Design of Environmental Objects

The professions of architecture, landscape architecture, and engineering are responsible for the development of our physical public realm, which impacts the environment, public health, and safety in the public realm. In the various aspects of their work, architects and landscape architects make decisions that affect not only functional matters but also the context of a visually aesthetically pleasing public realm, which they are able to diversify through the placement of diverse, innovative environmental objects in a given public realm. At the same time, designers need to establish links and collaborations with sculptors who are able to transform certain conditions into a contemporary public space, resulting in an engaging, visually aesthetically pleasing public space for all its users. Therefore, the study uses appropriate methods to evaluate various examples of environmental objects exhibited in different landscapes, both in Latvia and abroad, as well as to simultaneously evaluate the international student activity Think out of the BOX, which involves the development of the design of environmental objects from sketch to realisation.
