Studio Project - Space, Place, Mobility
Course description
The course deals with landscape architecture methods for planning, designing and managing transport systems. Based on current theories and methodology on mobility and transport architecture, the student investigates various choice of measures. During the course, current knowledge in the field is offered through literature studies, lectures and excursions. The course include group exercises to analyze the landscape, identify issues and propose solutions that support a transport need. An individual project is carried out where the student applies his knowledge of the landscape and the proposed measure to a shaped whole. Some important aspects that characterize the theme are to understand the context of the place in different scales and designing spatial sequences that work for movement at different speeds.
The course contains lectures, excursions, literature seminars (compulsory), critique - reviews of exercises (compulsory), supervised exercises in the studio, and own work in the studio.
The course gives 15 credits of skill training in the degree of master of science in landscape architecture.

Objectives
The course gives the student the opportunity to immerse in the planning, design and management of transport Infrastructure. During the course, the student works in different scales, spanning from early feasibility studies to site-specific design. The student is trained to interpret the landscape’s form, time depth and ecological connections. The course provides the opportunity to develop proficiency to design for different speeds of motion. The student is given the opportunity for specializations in various themes, both theoretical, artistic and practical.
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
• apply analysis methods that show an understanding of how transport structures affect the landscape
• account for and to some extent apply planning for roads and railways
• select, motivate and design measures aimed at creating transport systems that interact with the landscape
• implement and report on an infrastructure project based on knowledge of consequences at several scale levels
• present the consequences of the completed project in a convincing way
• reflect on what the project can contribute and critically examine the results based on the course’s various elements and the references and theories included in the course.
Content
The course deals with landscape architecture methods for planning, designing and managing transport systems. Based on current theories and methodology on mobility and transport architecture, the student investigates various choice of measures. During the course, current knowledge in the field is offered through literature studies, lectures and excursions. Work steps include group exercises to analyze the landscape, identify issues and propose solutions that support a transport need. An individual project is carried out where the student applies his knowledge of the landscape and the proposed measure to a shaped whole. Some important aspects that characterize the theme are to understand the context of the place in different scales and designing spatial sequences that work for movement at different speeds.
Teaching formats:
To further student learning and promote discussion, a variety of methods are used: lectures, excursions, literature seminars (compulsory), critic - review of exercises (compulsory), supervision exercises in studio, and independent studio work.
The course focuses on the following generic competencies: critical thinking, problem solving, use of technology, oral communication, written communication, teamwork, independence, time management, creativity.
Collaboration with the surrounding community takes place through, field trips, vistiting lecturers, practicing professionals and the cases studies.
The course gives 15 credits of skill training in the degree of master of science in landscape architecture.
Examination Formats and Requirements for Passing the Course
Lecturers 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.
