Studio - Landscape architecture and urban space

About this programme

The studio course has the city’s public space as a theme which includes both formal and informal spaces. The emphasis is to consider and to design a complex urban space. For the last couple of years the course have been working with main squares, in different Swedish cities, that are in the process of being developed. The task is based on a program that defines different claims made on the site. A joint field trip is made to the site. Previously adopted landscape methods for identification, analysis and interpretation of sites is used and deepened, and alternative methods are presented and promoted in the design process to an elaborated proposal. The student should consciously relate to site conditions and impacts on various aspects of sustainable development. The course deals with oral, visual and text presentation as well as practical and theoretical knowledge about how to communicate an idea. Work in the studio form also means that students should be active in constructive discussions and criticism on other students’ suggestions.
