Geschichte und Theorie der Landschaftsarchitektur

Study Programmes
Bachelor's degree programme in Architecture
Project Description
Das nachhaltige Agieren innerhalb der historischen Baukultur wird kritisch analysiert und Lehren für die zeitgenössische Architektur und Landschaftsarchitektur entwickelt. Die Vorlesungsreihe gibt einen Überblick über die Entwicklung von Landschaftsräumen und der Disziplin der Landschaftsarchitektur von den Anfängen bis heute. Von den frühesten menschlichen Gärten, über traditionelle, vormoderne und moderne Konzepte bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Landschaftsräumen erhalten die Studierenden einen kompakten Überblick der Landschaftsarchitekturgeschichte und -theorie. Diese Lehrveranstaltung legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Geschichte der Landschaft sowie auf die Ideen, Prozesse und Akteure, die ihre Entwicklung und Veränderung vorantreiben. Sie ermöglicht den Studierenden, die Geschichte in einem breiten, globalen Maßstab zu betrachten und als eine gesamtheitliche Entwicklung zu verstehen.

Die Geschichte der Landschaftsarchitektur wird als ein spezifisches Wissensgebiet betrachtet, das auch wissenschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und technische Innovationen sowie soziale und kulturelle Veränderungen miteinbezieht. Die Vorlesungsreihe befasst sich mit der Landschaftsarchitektur als Disziplin, die eng verflochten ist mit anderen Disziplinen und Bereichen, die die Transformation der Umwelt beeinflussen. Ziel ist es, die Studierenden in die vielfältigen Theorien, Konzepte und Ansätze der Landschaftsarchitektur einzuführen, die insbesondere vom 20. Jahrhundert bis heute in unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten artikuliert wurden. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den Entwicklungen im europäischen Kontext. Der Kurs bietet damit einen historischen und theoretischen Rahmen für die künftige Entwurfsarbeit der Studierenden.

Project Description
Improvisational theatre is a very fast and spontaneous way of playing theatre. The performers must work together; they make suggestions and accept other's offers; they lead and are being led; and they take over responsibility in order to tell a collective story on stage.
Improvisation on stage and in life is a technique that can be learned. It is inspiring and useful for creativity, communication, collaboration and teamwork. Improvisation cultivates interpersonal skills, you are required to think on your feet, to rapidly make decisions and to be in the moment. Practicing improvisation helps to build all of these skills, so that you can explore and develop your personal and professional potential, plus it is fun! At the end of this workshop there will be a one-hour performance in front of your friends. Time and Place of the final performance: Wednesday 15th of February 2023 at 6:30, University of Liechtenstein

o Teamwork: the yes and… principle

o Leadership: to lead and to be led
o Roleplay: change perspectives, explore and take over new roles
