Kursusbeskrivelse // Course description 

Discussions on nature and landscape fill the professional and the public debate – many ask themselves how to reconnect with nature, how to reestablish nature’s own balance, they explore and argue for nature-based solutions, and eco system services etc. An over-arching question concerns the human- non-human relation and how it is translated and negotiated and represented.

Seen from a professional landscape architectural perspective this interest is, on the one hand, very gratifying. On the other hand, the fact that the increased interest is related to global warming, resource exhaustion and biodiversity loss is discouraging.

Many of the questions are asked by researchers coming from other disciplines – for example philosophy, sociology, law, and biology, but touch upon and have relevance for landscape architectural, spatial, and aesthetic and ethical aspects. 

The questions also offer the opportunity for the landscape architectural discipline to re-visit and possible to re-connect with its theoretical and methodological legacy, and to re-position itself in an even wider and/or better(?) disciplinary context and framework.

The course is structured in a colloquium format, where the participants' active participation with written contributions based on their own research topics and research questions, together with joint literature studies and presentations, both define the framework and content of the course.
