Research in Landscape Architecture and Urbanism
The academic research group’s primary assignment is to provide, develop and communicate knowledge of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism. More specifically that is theories of and methods for the analysis and planning of the urban landscape.
In our research we are focusing on the aesthetic, architectonic, artistic language and its significance for the history, theory and methods of the profession and its representation. In our perspective we comprehend it as an architectural skill in programming and planning, where planning is seen as an architectural discipline.
In particular we are interested in the transformation of the urbane landscape owing to changes in production- and climate together with the increased aesthetic and recreational function of the city.
Research is carried out on methods for analysis of works, context and procedure from constructive and functional problems to societal and artistic problems and in methods for planning urban landscapes within the discipline landscape- and development-planning and all kinds of representation.
With the overall focus on the architectonic quality of space our objective is to raise the academic and professional status of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism as well as branding this field by making our research and lectures known world wide.
Despite the comprehensiveness in the science theory the planning is maintained as a qualitative subject, thus the research can enrich the lectures, when it comes to the opposite effort of solving architectural problems.
