Landscape Architecture is an interdisciplinary, integrative and critical life science by design. It mediates between worlds of knowledge in the natural and social sciences, the arts and the humanities.
The Landscape Architecture Group delivers state of the art landscape architecture research and design. This forms the basis for our Bachelor and Master study programme, which attracts students from all over the world. Landscape architecture students regularly win awards in competitions.
Our design, research and education are founded in a triptych approach to landscape architecture:
- Landscape Architecture as a contextual design discipline, founded in social, economic, political, cultural-historical meanings and aesthetic values:
- Strongly interlinked research and design. Research helps to validate artistic design, while innovative design generates new knowledge and can be a usefull research method.
- Landscape design as an important contribution to analysing and solving pressing global landscape problems, such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, water management adjustments, transitions to renewable energy sources, and the urbanisation of metropolitan delta landscapes.
