Design through practice and management
Theoretical, methodological and practical approaches and applications in following areas will be discussed during this course:
- Planting design through practice and management. The special value of this part is to introduce well established Swedish practices of working with plant material and dynamic plant communities during garden and park designs, its implementation process, management and maintenance plans.
- History of landscape architecture and its restoration /conservation aspects. This part will be given through the prism of historical precedents and restoration practices from Sweden and Europe.
- Cultural heritage landscapes management and maintenance aspects with emphasis to international and Swedish examples.
Information from the course leader
Det här är en kurs för dig som är nyfiken på samspelet mellan gestaltning och förvaltning för att skapa och vidmakthålla funktionella, hållbara och estetiskt tilltalande utemiljöer. Kursen vänder sig till blivande landskapsarkitekter och landskapsingenjörer i slutet av sin yrkesutbildning. I kursen varvas teori och praktik, inklusive fyra dagars handgriplig landskapsomvandling i fält. Exkursioner, seminarier och problemlösning i grupp är centrala för ditt lärande i den här kursen.

Knowledge equivalent to 120 credits including 90 credits in landscape architecture, basic knowledge in Swedish equivalent to what is required for general entry requirements for Swedish higher education at first-cycle level, and English 6.Objectives
The purpose for the course is to improve prior knowledge in the reciprocal relationship between design and management of constructed landscapes at different scales.
After completion of the course, the student will be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
describe common tasks and equipment used in outdoor-environmental management;
define and describe different values in outdoor-landscape environments, and how these values can influence the design of management plans and procurement;
give an overview of relevant restoration principles and valuation methods for designed-outdoor environments with cultural heritage;
Competence and skills
prepare maintenance and management plans to maintain and further develop the urban open space as a living environment;
evaluate outdoor environment projects and conservation programmes (or equivalent) from a design-oriented management perspective;
Judgement and approach
reflect on the importance of collaboration and consensus across professional fields, and how this can both promote appropriate design and sustainable outdoor-environmental management, and in what ways this can lead to a well-built environment;
discuss different models for outdoor-landscape environmental management.
Content
The course will include compulsory parts (seminars, excursions, study trips, exercises and outdoor fieldwork). Experts from the State departments, universities and private sector will share their experiences.
The work is mainly concentrated to the following areas:
Studies on targeted care and maintenance efforts, and how these can lead to new qualities or further develop existing qualities.
Conditions that determine how design-oriented landscape management can contribute to increased biodiversity, climate adaptation and other ecosystem services, as well as to ensure appropriate conditions for recreation, urban outdoor life, play and learning.
General perspectives on role distribution and collaboration opportunities between different professions with responsibility for the design and management of outdoor-landscape environments (including clients, consultants, landscape architects, landscape engineers, land and maintenance contractors).
Principles and practical examples of public and private management models (organization, strategic planning and day-to-day operations) as well as GIS as a tool for producing management action maps and corresponding documents.
Different methods for working with plants, soil management and dynamic plant communities within the framework of strategic planning, design, construction, operation and organizational development.
Concrete examples of constructed landscapes with historical values to provide perspectives on the care and development of both law-protected and non-law-protected green outdoor environments.
Application of restoration practices based on Swedish and international rules and guidelines that are used to discuss relevant restoration principles and valuation methods that incorporate cultural and historical considerations.
Field work where the students, with the help of targeted management measures, can change the character (function, experience values, ecosystem services) of an existing green area.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Approved assignments and oral presentations, as well as active participation in compulsory parts (seminars, excursions, fieldwork).
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
