2023 (71) Specia Issue: Diploma 2024
This is the seventh time that the special issue on diploma projects of the 4D Journal of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art has been published, and the seventeenth time that the diploma exhibition at the MATE Institute of Land-scape Architecture, Urban Planning and Garden Art is organised. The main aim of both is to showcase to a wider audience the most important and complex work of recent graduates, thus providing greater publicity for both their professional skills and the quality of training at their alma mater. Last year, sixty students successfully defended their diploma theses in the three master's programmes run by the Institute (Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Urban Planning, and Master of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art, which is in both English and Hungarian), and their work is featured in this issue of 4D Journal.

2023 (66) Specia Issue: Diploma 2023
The Institute of Landscape Architecture, Urban Plan-ning and Garden Art at MATE University currently offers three master's degrees: a Master of Landscape Architec-ture, a Master of Urban Planning and a Master of Land-scape Architecture and Garden Art - the latter also in English. In the past year, exactly 50 students have suc-cessfully defended their theses in our programmes, and their work is featured in this issue of the 4D Journal of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art. Beyond the successful thesis defences now, reviewing the abstracts of the projects, we can see once again that our graduates in landscape architecture and urban plan-ning have found themselves through tasks as diverse and varied as the world around us. They are looking for 'real green' solutions to issues and problems that are central to all our lives - even if there may be many who do not formulate them for themselves. Climate change, digitali-sation, urbanisation, the protection of our natural and cul-tural heritage are perhaps the most important challenges of our time, both globally and locally.

2022 (61) Specia Issue: Diploma 2022
A special feature of this year's issue of the 4D Journal of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art, dedicated to diploma works is that, in addition to the Master's degree thesis projects, it also includes the work of some of our BSc graduates in landscape management and garden construction who have achieved outstanding results at the December 2021 thesis defence. Regarding their content, this year's diploma projects will be of interest to both the professional and lay audience in Hungary. At the same time, they are also of international interest, since most of them are closely related to the main professional themes of the 2021 Conference of the IFLA Europe held in Granada: the research and development of healthy, liveable and both ecolog-ically and economically sustainable environment, and the methodology of designing inspiring landscapes and open spaces with artistic demands.

2019 (51) Special Issue: Diploma Thesis 2019
This year marks an important anniversary for the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism, the founder and publisher of the 4D journal, again. On the basis of the School of Horticulture, the Academy of Horticulture was established in 1939, related closely to the József Nádor University of Technology and Economics regarding the educational organisation. The integration into a university opened the opportunity for the establishment of the most significant professional units, including the Department of Garden Art and Garden Design founded by Imre Ormos. This institutional development of 70 years ago laid the basis for an independent progress and institutionalisation of the profession.
As demonstrated by his substantial publications and lecture books, writing professional and scientific publications was integral part of Ormos's work done in the fields of education, planning, design and professional consultancy. Imre Ormos, the school founder, set a good example with this, too.
The past 70 years have brought great progress for the profession, the landscape school and also for the professional publication. The 2006 launch of 4D, the independent scientific periodical of the profession, provided and still provides a good opportunity for publishing research and project results of both the narrow and the wider profession. Since ten years now, the journal is published in Hungarian and English, thus supporting also international professional networking. The growing number of international publications is a significant achievement of the past years. The education at the Faculty is also international since, in addition to the Hungarian language landscape architecture and urban systems engineering programmes, the international Master in Landscape Architecture is a substantial and sought after programme.
The 4D journal aimed at providing scope for the publication of the best thesis projects since the beginning, regarding both research oriented or landscape planning works and landscape design projects. Publication of the thesis projects in a single book was also urged by the students, so much that the first thesis booklet of the Faculty was edited by the actual graduates. The 4D has not only took care of this, but through the bilingual publication has also opened new dimensions for the fresh graduates. On behalf of the editorial board of the 4D journal, let me wish the young landscape architects and urban engineers a professionally challenging and successful career. And let me also encourage the colleagues to become regular readers of the journal, and contribute to the written content with project introductions, studies and scientific publications. -

2017 (43) Special Issue: Diploma Thesis 2017
2017’s first issue of ‘4D’ Journal of Landscape Architecture and Garden Art is published with an annual special profile highlighting the achievements of the year past. Launched in 2006, 4D has always been a forum focused both on the scientific and creative. The journal includes professional communications such as reports and publications of the most prestigious events and major international meetings, conferences and lectures of the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. This type of publication with recurring themes is of great importance to the community, since 4D is the only professional landcape periodical in Hungary. Therefore this is the only publication that appears regularly, meaning it represents the Faculty in both the domestic professional and official management positions, as well as the international arena.
Professional founder and editor of 4D is the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, which celebrates its 25th anniversary of autonomous faculty status this year. Therefore, it is most understandable that the support of the National Cultural Fund was dedicated with this present 43rd issue with an aim of highlighting the professional complexity and high standard of education within the Faculty. The diploma work and theses of graduated 2016-17 master students provide a good overview of the various thematic design and planning areas within the field of open space design, urban landscape architecture, landscape protection and rehabilitation, landscape development, and urban and regional planning.
The Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning offers master programs in agricultural engineering and in technical and artistic disciplines, within four master's degree programs existing since the 2006 introduction of the Bologna system: landscape architect MSc, urban planning and design MSc, landscape architect and garden designer MA and also an English language MLA program. A wide variety of specialists found in the master programs highlights the various outcomes and responsibilities of landscape architecture and urban planning professions. The MLA English-language master's degree program is especially important in the life of the Faculty, since the development of international education is not only expected as a strength, but offers a good opportunity for the introduction of Hungarian landscape architecture education into an international circle, helping to strengthen the relationships of the Faculty.
On behalf of the editorial board of 4D and the editorial staff, let me wish the young landscape architects and urban planners a professional challenge with a rich, successful career. At the same time I would urge our young colleagues to be regular readers of the Journal, and moreover to become part of the publishing of professional creative work, including plans, studies and scientific articles.
