Prize winner

The Schelling Architecture Award 2024 goes to LOLA Landscape Architects.

There are few planners who have such a broad base and focus on the big picture as Lola Landscape Architects from Rotterdam. In addition to employing landscape architects, architects and urban designers, they also collaborate with a large number of partners. They conduct research, for example in the large dike project that resulted in the book “Dutch Dikes” and not only mapped and systematized all the dikes in the Netherlands, but also showed how this greatest Dutch invention is likely to play an increasingly important role in the future. This resulted, for example, in plans for a future-proof port of Rotterdam, even with rising water levels. Lola was founded in 2006 and works mainly in the Netherlands and its neighboring countries and in China.
Many of its projects involve the transformation of disused industrial sites or large sports facilities, which, along with parks, is one of the drivers of urban redevelopment.
