In May 2023, the Danish Pavilion opened at the 13th Venice Biennale, featuring the exhibition "Coastal Imaginaries". Inside the pavilion, a diverse group of collaborators, professionals and architecture enthusiasts gathered for a focused discussion series on nature-based solutions and the coastscapes of the future. This podcast represents one of four recordings capturing these dialogues.

This episode documents  a conversation on the future of architectural education in the context of the green transition and the potential environmental risks that lie ahead. Ellen Braae, a professor specializing in landscape architecture theory and methodology, moderates the discussion. The participants include:

Pippo Ciorra, who is not only an architect but also a critic and educator. Since 2009, he has held the role of senior curator at Rome's MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st-Century Arts.

Anne Tietjen, an architect with a Ph.D., and a Professor specializing in Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, and Transformation. As of 2022, she serves as the Head of Studies for the MSc Landscape Architecture.
