Offer 1 with catalog number 4018529ENR for all students in the 1st semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
The seminar will focus on multiple approaches, from landscape theory to project-led analysis, and covers a wide range of spaces and scales looking at their contribution to the landscape paradigm debate.
By understanding the landscape strategies as well as methodologies, by investigating the complex relationship between the different modes of urbanity and the landscape, we will seek to challenge transversal reflection on contemporary landscape projects.
Projects:
- case “Parkbos Gent” : landuse planning concepts.
- case “geïntegreerd landschapsbeheerplan parkdomein Roosendael” culthuurhistorie en erfgoed :
- case “climate change and the Flemish water policy plan”: Sigmaplan en Kustveiligheidsplan
Guidance
Raising questions after class, on appointment and via e-mail.
Within a globalizing context, residents are asking to pay more attention to the quality of their own 'place', their own environment and the community to which they belong. The municipal and urban environmental policy should therefore be 'global': taking into account the context, but focused on the local environment.
Within this context a number of questions are discussed:
- Is sustainable spatial planning a logical consequence of the discussions related to sustainable development;
- What about the instruments for municipal and urban environmental policy;
- Are the urban and peri-urban green areas of fundamental importance in terms of livability.
Have an understanding of the holistic approach of ecological thinking in terms of spatial planning.
