Studio Project - Large Scale Structures, Analysis and EIA
Course description
The course deals with large-scale structure at super-municipal level. Work components comprise advanced landscape analyses, documents for dialogue and consultation according to planning and building regulations and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Some already completed analyses and planning documents will be problematised and some individual proposals for improvements will be made. The students will select, motivate and implement the landscape analyses that are relevant prior to planned changes in the landscape and draw up planning documents for different planning stages and describe the activities of different authorities, parties and actors. The object of the course varies from year to year.

Objectives
The course aims to develop the students' ability to analyze and characterize the overall landscape at different scale levels, which may involve municipal, regional, national and supranational level, as well as to evaluate effects and consequences of the construction of large-scale projects (e.g. roads, railways, wind farms and climate protection) for our natural and cultural environments.
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
• select, motivate and implement those landscape analyses that are relevant prior to planned changes in the landscape
• manage planning documents for different stages in the planning process and describe the activities and roles of different authorities, stakeholders and actors
• describe the consequence of installations for the landscape, e.g. for the natural and cultural environment and for human health, e.g. in form of an Environmental or Social Impact Assessment.
Content
The course deals with large-scale structure at municipal and super-municipal level. The object of the course varies from year to year. Work components comprise advanced landscape analyses, documents for dialogue and consultation according to planning and building regulations and an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Some already completed analyses and planning documents will be problematised and some individual proposals for improvements will be made.
To further student learning and promote discussion, a variety of methods are used: lectures, excursions, literature seminars, presentations of work in progress (compulsory), supervision exercises in studio (compulsory) and independent studio work.
The course focuses on the following generic competencies:
critical thinking, problem solving, written and oral communication, teamwork, independence
Collaboration with the surrounding community takes place through:
study visits, gest lectures, case/assignments and reality-based projects
The course gives 15 skills training credits for students in the Landscape Architecture Programme.
Examination Formats and Requirements for Passing the Course
Examiner will evaluate the quality of compulsory assignments and reports submitted by students, their ability to make oral presentations and their ability to engage each other in critical and analytical discussions. Specifications of compulsory attendance and assignments are given at course start.
