IFLA 46th World Congress in Brazil, in 2009, will be the venue for the second IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal award-giving.
This Gold Medal awarded every four years by the International Federation of Landscape Architects pays tribute to a practising landscape architect whose merit, talent and actions are acknowledged at international level.
This quadrennial competition is opened to landscape architects throughout the world whose activities deal with landscape planning, design or management, improvement in the quality of human settlements and landscape architectural education.
Nominations for the reward are made by landscape associations or IFLA members.
Peter Walker was IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Gold Medal award's inaugural winner in 2005 at IFLA's 42nd World Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Among many other prestigious projects, Peter Walker in partnership with architect Michael Arad team won the commission for the World Trade Center Memorial in New York.
