Abstract
Since the turn of the millennium, topics and contexts such as climate change, migration, digitalization, etc. have shaped humans' relation to nature. The lecture series gives an introduction to key topics in the field of contemporary landscape architecture, as well as their transdisciplinary approaches.
Objective
Overview to contemporary and forthcoming tasks of landscape architecture. A critical reflection of the present design practice and discussion of new approaches in landscape architecture.
Content
The lecture series "Theory and Design in Contemporary Landscape Architecture" (Landscape Architecure II) follows the lecture series "History and Theory of Garden Design and Landscape Architecture" (Landscape Architecure I). Rather than concentrating only on questions of style, the series will also tackle issues such as revitalisation, sustainability etc. The lectures review design approaches that critically reflect our inherited perception of nature. The themes of site, soil, water and vegetation provide some useful aspects for the design practice.
