A weed is a plant considered unwanted in human-controlled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks. The derogatory term ‘weed’ is also applied to any plant that grows or reproduces aggressively or is invasive outside its native habitat. Invasive species are largely a consequence of human activity: plants and seeds brought by people on purpose or by accident to an area, where they might not have natural competitors and thus will grow unstoppably.
Kõigepealt tuleb arutleda selle üle, mida saab üldse tühermaaks pidada. Kindel on see, et tühermaa on linnalooduse osa, kus inimese mõju on väga selgelt näha ja tunda. Võiks ehk isegi öelda, et tühermaa on inimtekkeline. Seal võib kohata varemeid, lagunenud taristut, ehitusjäätmeid ja muud. Kui püüame sõnastada definitsiooni, siis saame öelda, et tühermaa on inimese kasutatud ala, mis on seisnud aastaid kasutuseta ja mille loodus on aastatega üle võtnud. Kindlat piiri, mis on tühermaa, mis mitte, on siiski üsna raske tõmmata. Tallinna Ülikoolis oleme põhjalikumalt uurinud Lasnamäe tühermaid ja järgnevad suuremad üldistused teen just nende põhjal.

The objective of landscape architecture should be climate positivity. This will most likely manifest when landscape carbon positivity becomes a sales argument or a general policy, and amendments to legislation are made.
Mida rohkem kahaneb ühistranspordi kasutajate arv, seda vähemaks jääb liine ja väljumisi ning seda raskem on konkureerida personaalsete liikuvusteenustega. Kuidas murda seda nõiaringi, mõeldes kliimakriisile?
In 2013, American political theorist Benjamin R. Barber convincingly argued that contemporary cities are better poised than nations to solve global problems. According to Barber, this is also true for the responses to climate change: ‘Where states can be said to have done the least, cities have done the most.’

Six educators and practitioners from all over the world who specialise in interior architecture joined me for a discussion about how they conceptualise the role of the interior architect in spatial design, what the challenges of the specialisation are and what kind of education would help meet those challenges.
