Landscape-Led Planning for Fire-Resilient Territories: Artist Residencies and Art Campus Development

The study proposes landscape-led strategies to strengthen territorial resilience through fire-adaptive spatial design, water protection and retention, and the restoration and enhancement of wildlife habitats. Over six months, it maps ecological networks, hydrological systems, and wildland–urban interfaces, translating findings into site-specific planning principles and design guidelines for an emerging art campus and residency programme. Supported by a £9,000 award, the project delivers practical tools for climate adaptation, land stewardship, and regenerative place-making in fire-prone Mediterranean landscapes.
