Mention at the nrw.landschaftsarchitektur.preis 2026
The award ceremony took place at the Zeche Zollverein, in the Erich Brost Pavilion in Essen. The award-winning projects were presented alongside colleagues and numerous guests. From 27 submitted entries, the jury unanimously selected six projects that address future-oriented themes and create innovative, impressive, and sustainable landscape experiences. Beyond traditional site planning, the awards recognize achievements in landscape conservation, climate adaptation, and ecological revitalization.
We are delighted by the recognition of the open-space design of the so-called Confex Plaza. JSWD developed the landscaping of the forecourt of Koelnmesse’s multifunctional exhibition and convention hall in collaboration with the landscape architects Lill + Sparla.
