Course Content

The course is composed of a series of lectures and research period. Lecture series are assembled under two headings: On “Landscape” and Expanded Field of “Landscape”. First module of the course, On “Landscape”, elaborates the meaning, language and milieu of landscape on a conceptual basis. This part ends up with student’s presentation on a selected article from the assigned reading list on landscape. The second module, Expanded Field of “Landscape”, discusses the inspiring and generative interplay between landscape and art, architecture, urbanism. The knowledge gained from both modules will be reflected through a landscape excursion which is required to be documented through a critical narration.
