Objectives
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
describe and critically analyse a place from an historical and a future perspective
discuss the physical and intangible heritage
describe and critically analyse cultural heritage in relation to societal development
formulate theoretical questions with relevance to impending changes in the landscape
Content
The concept of cultural heritage is treated from different perspectives, e.g. urban, rural, local, regional, national, nature, culture, scale levels, etc. The course comprises lectures on the underlying principles, seminars in which the contextual situation is discussed, and study trips. The course concludes with an essay on one of the themes of the course, which should demonstrate that the student has applied the general objectives of the course. The course comprises literature studies and projects, individual as well as in groups. Projects are either theoretical or focus on actual contemporary cases. The relationship between theoretical concepts and practice is studied from historical and philosophical perspectives in order to support receptiveness for new ways to plan and create. The experiences of working landscape architects are used to put cultural heritage in a planning and design context. The students are expected to find literature and relevant angles by themselves.
The course comprises group projects, study trips (compulsory), workshops (compulsory), lectures, literature seminars, criticism (reviews), independent work with reading and writing.
