Welcome to the Network of Landscape Users - Open Professional Meetup Series!

In the midst of a region experiencing a significant surge in construction activities, we recognize the intricate interplay between aesthetics, ecology, and society in landscape utilization. In response, we've launched a dynamic monthly event series that has blossomed into a shared forum for the architectural professionals of the region and engaged citizens passionate about the built environment.

Our series, marked by recurrent participation and stimulating discussions, takes pride in providing a platform for inspiration, idea exchange, community building, and networking. We've successfully carved out a space for meaningful discourse, inviting diverse contributors to present and facilitating encounters between varying roles, interests, and perspectives. Our aim is to spark clashes and convergences of viewpoints, cultivating a more nuanced vision for the future of the landscape.

Throughout the meetup series, we've delved into pressing questions that resonate with the local community, including:

• Is living on a vineyard hill acceptable?
• What considerations should be made when building a vacation home on a vineyard hill?
• How can building permits be linked to grape cultivation, and is it a positive approach?
• Are there sustainable alternatives to monoculture grape cultivation?
• How can vineyard landscape use adapt to the challenges posed by climate change?
• Does existing regulation support or hinder the sustainability of grape culture?
• Can tourism and agriculture coexist and mutually reinforce one another?
• What role does tradition play in shaping our decisions?
• What elements should be preserved, and what should be renewed?
