The Landscape Architecture I and II lecture series looks at the design of nature from the first cultural landscapes to today's complex cultural landscape formations. The lecture series not only analyzes the results of anthropogenic nature design, but also discusses its various causes, contexts and consequences.
Learning objective
The course provides the basics and tools for an in-depth understanding of the discipline of landscape architecture and its far-reaching interconnections with architecture, urban planning, ecology and other spatial and nature-related sciences. The aim is to adopt landscape perspectives in planning and design processes and to critically reflect on one's own projects within a specific context.
Students learn about historical developments and their topicality and learn "from history". Design contexts are presented on the basis of examples. Students develop a basis for ways of thinking and action for current landscape architectural challenges.
Content
The lectures in the fall semester course "History and Theory of Gardens and Landscape Architecture" provide an overview of the cultural history of nature, the landscape and the garden from its origins to the present day. An in-depth understanding of change as well as the design strategies and characteristics of the most important epochs and their current relevance will be discussed.

Prerequisites / Notice
General information on the examination: Bachelor students: The knowledge taught in the lecture and the exam-relevant literature provided by the lecturer serve as the basis for exam preparation. The course is designed as an annual program. As the written session exam tests knowledge from both the Landscape Architecture I and II lecture series, it is strongly recommended that you attend the course over two semesters. The examination topics will be announced shortly before the end of the semester. The lecturer will provide texts on the examination topics as pdf files for download. These serve to deepen understanding of the lecture.
Mobility students or students from other departments: Students who only attend the lecture for one semester complete the lecture with an end-of-semester oral examination. Here too, the lecturer provides literature relevant to the examination as a download. Students registered for the exam will receive further information on the exam procedure by email shortly before the end of the semester.
