Content: | Current issues and tasks of landscape architecture from the areas of planning and design are taken up in a project work. The topics and planning areas thus change with each study cycle. The spectrum of tasks in this project covers spaces with multiple use requirements, which have lead to functional, ecological and aesthetic conflicts. They may also be regions, which are in the process of losing their present importance due to post-industrial and social change.The project itself involves the formulation of solutions for typical regions and spaces in which these problems are most apparent. This includes the following processes and activities: • Use of different methods of landscape analysis and assessment using the example of a regional landscape area • Integration of GIS technology in landscape assessment and planning • Development and evaluation of future scenarios for the landscape area, taking various factors into account (dealing with complexity and dynamics) • Detailing of the scenario at the local level (planning and design interventions) • Visualization, communication and documentation of the planning steps and results • Application of project management methods in relation to the work team and the spatial context of the planning task • If necessary, basic methods from planning and design are repeated and practiced in order to balance different levels of knowledge of the interdisciplinary study group |
