What These Projects Tell Us About 2025

Reading across all 20 projects, a few themes emerge with unusual consistency. First: water. Whether as a flood risk in Kerala, an ecological corridor in Jakarta, a sensory medium in Turkey, or a memorial metaphor in Istanbul, water appears in almost every project on this list. Landscape designers in 2025 are grappling with hydrology not as a constraint but as a primary design opportunity.

Second: the vertical cemetery as a serious typology. Three of the twenty projects — TAHAN, Tree of Life, and Sky Cemetery — propose alternatives to horizontal burial grounds in land-scarce cities. This is a new spatial conversation, and it is happening on uni.xyz before it appears in most architectural publications.

Third: the productive landscape. Urban agriculture — whether in the form of hydroponics modules in Bogotá, food parks in London, or meal mines proposed for competition — is now firmly part of the landscape design conversation, not a fringe interest.
