Objectives
Landscapes are the largest scale landscape and garden architects are confronted with. The student learns about landscapes from different points of view. One of the topics is the study of the landscape, with particular attention to the use of different sources (literature, maps, ...) and their interpretation. Attention is given also to the evolution of landscapes, and the reflection in the landscape structures and implications for planning and design.
The student is able to develop a critical and future-orientated opinion about the conservation, development and organisation of the rural area, taking into account the existing legislations.
The student has an open mind which enables to weigh the several interests and needs of the actors which play in landscape planning.
The student is able to use the existing spatial plans and knows the theories about spatial planning and urban development in Flanders.
The student knows the concept of urban development, the social aspects involved in urban development and the function of landscape architects in urban development.
