| Summary: | The growing landscape social demand and the transformation of the regulatory framework regarding landscape policy lead to a change in the practice and content of landscape project. Among the challenges that this new context brings about a key factor in renewing the action of landscape architects is the need to take into account people's aspirations towards the quality of their life and environment (the European Landscape Convention). Under such hypothesis the main questions this article aims to answer are : does participation renew (and how) the landscape practice And conversely, does the landscape practice renew participatory approaches ? A comparative analysis on two landscape projects (one Brazilian, one French) is carried out in order to describe professional practices which, even though still at an experimental level and started by proponents of participatory practices, appear to depict a significant evolution of project planning for landscape architects and also bring about important guidelines for improving training of such professionals. If these two cases question the virtues of the landscape practice as lever of participation and the mediation characteristics in landscape projects, they reflect more broadly the evolution of planning practices under the effect of new participatory governances. They suggest to redefine the roles of the expert and the user, and to imagine a "social engineering" which acts at the service of the governance. From this point of view, landscape must be approached as means (a tool) as well as final purpose of land settlement [or landscaping]. Nonetheless the case-studies allowed the identification of the difficulties encountered by landscape practitioners, which end up questioning and the modalities of participation and the foundations of the practice of the landscape project. |
