Temakurs 2020:2

This year’s theme course - Landscape architecture in transport infrastructure – is initiated, and partly financed, by the Swedish Transport Administration. The course is a part of their long-term strategy to strengthen the knowledge of landscape and infrastructure through research and education. The course aims at developing the students’ knowledge and provide tools for analyses and design of landscape in infrastructure projects. One important aspect of infrastructure design is to interpret and understand the scale and spatiality of infrastructure both in rural and urban landscape, as well as learning to develop strategies and design concepts in the current context. This includes dealing with impact on the surrounding environments, such as barrier effect, spatial segregation and people’s perception of landscape. Another aspect is to develop design concepts into feasible design proposals with maintained coherence. The aim of the course is also to give the students insight into the specific circumstances of infrastructure design, as well as strengthening knowledge of practical, decision-making processes, legal and formal conditions, technical aspects and architectural potentials in transport infrastructure. During the course we will study and problematize existing infrastructure projects through e.g. excursions, workshops, literature and lectures. Students will also practice and develop their knowledge in an individual project.

Welcome to this year´s theme course Landscape Architecture in Transport Infrastructure!

This years theme course will be a development of last years exploration on Landscape Architecture and Transport Infrastructure. We will go through the tools of assessing the landscape, making strategic choices and design a project that carries movement.

A special focus will be put into designing structures for sustainable mobility and landscape adaptation of transport infrastructure. This means we will have sessions focused on bicycles, railway, ecological networks, multifuctional uses of transportsystems and social aspects.

The course team includes professionals from SLU, Trafikverket and several consultants working in the field of landscape architecture and transport infrastructure.


Practical information

We will start the course online this year, and I hope to see you all on zoom the 30th august 2021 at 9 o´clock. During the course we will have acess to a venue called Hyllan (Alnarpgården, Sundsvägen 4, Alnarp). This course includes many lectures that will be held primarily on zoom. Litterature seminars will probably also be held on zoom. There is a number of fieldstudies that you will undertake individually, in smaller groups, and as a class. The common fieldtrips will be done in the Skanian region ( Skåne). If the guidelines for restrictions due to Covid virus are relaxed, we may spend more time together than I can plan for at the present.

Looking forward to meeting you!
