Everyone collects something. Wine, art, ashtrays, stamps in a passport, or just phone numbers in a smartphone. There are even people who collect data and facts about landscape architecture projects. Ever since 2004, the cultural land of Austria has also been amassing a collection of contemporary landscape architecture. The name of this digital collection - which is operated and carefully maintained by the Austrian Society for Landscape Architecture (?GLA) in cooperation with the BOKU Institute of Landscape Architecture (ILA) - is next.land. Every project under consideration for the collection, together with the texts and photographic documents that accompany it, is conscientiously reviewed by a team of curators - who only permit it to be added to the database after it passes a detailed quality check. Next.land currently includes data from around 300 top-quality Austrian projects, and many more are added each year.
