Abstract

Objective
Introduction 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“ follows the lecture series „history and theory of gardens and landscape“ (Landschaftsarchitektur 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.
