- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
- To learn about and reflect on the methodical "tools of the trade" of landscape planning on the basis of planning examples including inventories / mappings, structured comparison of data and information and their interpretation, derivation of planning models and planning measures, hermeneutic contextualization’s.
- The students will be able to differentiate between traditional, critical (Horkheimer/Adorno) and feminist theories.
- They will gain an initial insight in the landscape planning practice (among others Hülbusch, K.H./Hülbusch, I.M.; Hirschfeld, Wittfogel, Harvey, Werlhof, Mies, Bennholdt-Thomsen, Libreria delle donne di Milano).
- They will gain basic knowledge of traditional, inclusive post-modern argumentation patterns and their underlying theories and their choice and application of methods, e.g.: "The myth of improving", "the intervention-compensation construct", the protective metaphor, the postulate of the non-judgemental etc.
- They students know the theoretical background and main steps of a structuralist analysis in landscape planning and know the differences between the real, imaginary and symbolic layers of landscapes; they understand how an structuralist analysis can contribute to planning solutions.
