Germany has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 under the European Climate Protection Regulation^[1]. The expansion of renewable energies (RE) is essential for this goal but faces controversy and resistance from both the public and politics. Current planning practices are predominantly characterized by layered procedures, where exclusion criteria and damage assessments in various landscapes impact the plans. Spatial structural concepts are lacking, and synergies for the population and biodiversity are only marginally addressed. In the "see better fields" semester project, we explore how landscape architects can contribute to shaping the energy transition, rapidly devising new, creative solutions for a holistic, contemporary landscape—economically, ecologically, socially, and aesthetically. How can RE facilities structurally enrich this landscape, create new connections, and allow genuine diversity?

LAREG has been conducting extensive research on the enhanced integration of wind and solar installations into the landscape. New possibilities for combining new technology with existing land use include Agri-Photovoltaics or Floating-PV. Here, we ask: what densities, textures, and proportions emerge when designing RE within the current culturally and historically shaped landscape with its individual requirements and characteristics?
