Course content
The course is a landscape design and planning course with emphasis upon cultural landscapes and landscape architecture, solutions, and future prospects for water landscapes.

With point of departure in defined regional driving forces, the students will work with cases, modelbuilding, and other analytical tools to produce a basis for the formulation of visions, strategies for the choosen cases.

The students will be provided with plans, data and other inputs concerning the cases, including information on socio-economic condition, environmental and ecological state and character of the landscape.

The relevant theoretical and methodological issues will be presented in lectures and workshops by a number of teachers from inside as well outside University of Copenhagen. Such issues include: driving forces of water landscapes, representation theory, model building as strategic landscape analysis, sustainability impact assessment.

Målbeskrivelse
Learning Outcome
Water landscapes are characterised by the land use, because they are attractive to many functions and permanently under pressure from urban expansion and demands imposed by nearby population concentrations. Current demands for climate migration and adaptation have added additional functions to the urban landscape. Ensuring the landscape quality of such areas requires innovative and strategic design and planning as well as collaboration among many stakeholders and citizens.

After completing of the course the students should be able to hold the following competences:

Knowledge:
Describe and understand the characteristics and specific problems of regional context in relation to other regions in the world, including the understanding of driving forces of water and landscape in the rural landscape as well as in selected landscape architectural project representing innovative and traditional cases.
Describe basic indicators of sustainability

Skill:
Apply methods for description, analysis and assessment/evaluation of water landscapes
Apply theory on sustainable development
Formulate and communicate visions, strategies and plans for a design of sustainable development in water landscapes

Competences:
Work in groups with people from different regions of the world and
Hold a critical and reflective view on contemporary design, uses and planning of water landscapes
Discuss the functions of water landscapes in a wider context
