Meeting landscape 2

A persistent pedagogical foundation of the courses during the first semester’s education at a Landscape Architect program, Alnarp, is an integrated perspective on course implementation and learning, where the combination of different areas of knowledge contributes to students’ understanding of the landscape and of complexity and the context in landscape architecture.


This is achieved through teaching that takes a standpoint in the studies of a couple of main sites and their history, characteristics and expressions in which the quest for understanding of landscape phenomena largely influences the content and pedagogy of the course. This means that the focus of the course will be conducted by the main sites that are being studied. Other additional reference sites is used to relate and deepening the knowledge.


As a central part of an integrated learning, the students will practice how to analyze, process and synthesize knowledge through methods central for the Landscape Architect (eg, sketching, writing, visualizing and presenting). These repeated tasks allow for a deeper process of achieving knowledge and for training the communication skills of the students. The goal is that the course during the semester will give the students an approach to knowledge and methods that provides the students with tools to successfully attend the following courses in the program, and lay the foundation for future employment as a Landscape Architect.


The course is conducted through excursions, study trips, seminars, lectures, individual assignments, group projects and exams. Many parts of the course are experience-based, such as field trips, hikes, etc. There should be moments in the course that enable explorations of aspects that are not known in advance.


For short periods, the student is given the opportunity to immerse themselves into an optional area of landscape architecture and present it appropriately. During the course the students compile data for a portfolio compilation and an exhibition that ends the course and semester.


With the main sites, reference sites, an integrated perspective on learning and synthesizing techniques, the course intends to primarily convey the knowledge and skills within three to extent equally represented knowledge areas: applied arts, garden and landscape history and plant knowledge. In the course will also the employment and work of Landscape Architects constitute an aspect, which aims to increase the understanding of the profession’s role in today’s community design and planning. Other content includes introductions to the design, planning and management theory. Seminars, presentations, excursions and study trip are compulsory.
