Course Content
Increasing urban population and expanded urban surface put the planetary environmental challenges, which neccessiate an integrated lens with landscape knowledge, in the forefront. To develop critical thinking and operational acts on our relational built environment, the course introduces to students the dynamic conceptual ground of landscape. It uncovers landscapes multiscalar, temporal, and processual emergences as natural, cultural and tectonic milieu/medium product. Through lectures, seminal readings, student-led presentations, case studies, and discussions, the course encourages students to link the theoretical ground of landscape with landscape, architectural and urban desing acts and practices.
