      Grouped under the title, Prospectives, the coming three issues of Spanish architectural journal Obradoiro will explore the future spatial and environmental challenges of Galicia. The first volume, Obradoiro 35: Landscapes, seeks to establish landscape design and planning as central to our practice. 

      The landscapes surrounding us today are fundamentally shaped by human logic and intervention. Just as architects give form to buildings and cities, we play an equally fundamental role in configuring these environments. Recognizing this responsibility underscores the urgent need to steward, organize, and develop the shared heritage of Galicians—particularly at a moment when its fragility is more evident than ever, as demonstrated by Galicia's record-breaking wildfires, visible transformations from climate change, and the persistence of extractivist practices.

      Obradoiro 35: Landscapes examines the geographic transformations currently underway in Galicia. The issue investigates interventions in mountain communities, coastal and aquatic environments, and areas of agricultural, forest, and energy production. It underscores the importance of developing green infrastructure in cities to address climate change impacts, and positioning landscape design as essential to managing risks of flooding, fire, and biodiversity loss.
