Die Studierenden sind in der Lage, die grundlegenden Methoden und Strategien der Planung und Gestaltung von Landschafts- und Freiräumen nachzuvollziehen und zu evaluieren. Sie können diese reflektiert mit lokalen und globalen Kontexten in Relation setzen.

Vermittlung von grundlegendem Wissen und Methoden in der Landschafts- und Raumplanung in Bezug zur zeitgenössischen Architektur; Einbeziehung der Diskurse angrenzender Disziplinen wie der Humangeographie, Soziologie, Ökologie und Biologie.

This course sets out to explore the role of agricultural territories as altered environments within an extended urban landscape.

Specific case studies within the Alpine region will be investigated in an attempt to define the extent to which altered environments function as part of a greater ‘urban’ environment. The case studies in relation to various environments (urban/rural/natural) will be analyzed through the use of exploratory methods including: data analysis, cartographic representation, and visual storytelling.

Human interventions, both minor and complex, have reshaped the natural environment altering it to an unrecognizable degree – resulting in the development of an altered/built environment. Our current geological time period, the Epoch of the Anthropocene, is a consequence of the compiling of these altered environments. It is therefore integral that subtopics of ecology + environment, place + culture, scale + perspective, sense + device (technology) be considered. As Alpine territories are continuously developed their historic role and strategic geographic location as trade and access point between northern Europe and Mediterranean territories – and the world beyond – will be reconfigured.

The goal is to develop a series of maps and diagrams, which tell a coherent narrative on the physical formation of land(scape) within the Alps using agricultural territories as the protagonist.
