Professorship for Landscape Architecture, Design and Experimental Spaces

The field of Landscape Architecture, Design and Experimental Spaces equips students with foundational and in-depth design skills, which can then take more concrete shape through various projects. We expressly encourage our students to take bold stances and maintain an optimistic, progressive attitude.  

The starting point for design is being able to respectfully read and understand landscapes. Students therefore learn to design by working on specific locations. The diversity of these locations reflects the varied day-to-day work of a landscape architect; they might be old-fashioned city squares, abandoned industrial areas, playful landscapes, strange streetscapes, or impressive riverbanks – all typologies, contexts, and criteria are taken into consideration.

At the same time, the field is expanding its view towards experimental processes and design approaches. Installations, temporary interventions that touch on spatial art, and unusual design processes are intended to promote openness to unconventional thinking and offer space for critical reflection on work in landscape architecture.

Our primary aim is to pass on the joy of design and enthusiasm for landscapes through the respectful exchange of ideas!
