Studio - Large scale landscape project

The studio course is built around an infrastructure project somewhere in Sweden. It concerns transports and can be road or railway projects. An initial group assignment studies a landscape and a situation that can be found in several different places in the country. Based on a future scenario, various locations and designs of a planned new infrastructure are studied. A method for landscape characterization based on the concepts of the European Landscape Convention is applied in the group task. In the following individual design task, you choose what you want to investigate. It can be an alternative location of a road, design of ecoducts, road slopes or something else that interests you with relevance to the course and the project. Lectures, theme days and literature seminars deepen and problematize issues related to landscape, ecology, history and sustainability. A study trip (two, three days) in Sweden shows concrete examples of large-scale landscape changes. Travel costs are borne by the student. The course is given in English.

The course applies specific selection critera based on total amount of completed credit within the subject area Landscape Architecture, in accordance with decision SLU.ua.2023.1.1.1-747
