The three theoretical trimesters will be organised at the campus in Nürtingen (nearby Stuttgart) from March to November 2013. The fourth semester is dedicaded to the Master‘s thesis. In addition, an international project of four weeks duration will be done. Because of political changes HfWU Nürtingen does not charge tuition fees any more.

The project is supervised by Clinton Hindes and his team together with IMLA programme director Roman Lenz and Christoph Dankers. The students work on an urban redevelopment concept for the area between the urban centre and the harbour of Cape Town. The project takes up the theme of ‘landscapes in transition’. This is also the topic of this year’s IFLA world congress which is going to take place in Cape Town later this year in September. The students enjoy very good working conditions at the UCT. After the final presentation scheduled for the end of May the group will go on a field trip in South Africa to explore its extraordinary landscapes.

The students were asked to develop landscape qualitiy objectives for the valley, to
propose interventions for enhancing these qualities and to draw up communication concepts for informing the public about landscape values, challenges and potential changes. One master thesis will develop this communication concept in depth.

]]> General Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:07:00 +0100 IMLA coordinates Online Seminar http://www.imla-campus.eu/imla/news/imla-coordinates-online-seminar.html The online seminar of this fall semester is dedicated to the assessment of everyday landscapes.... This seminar aims to combine two learning objectives:

  • to understand and apply different landscape assessment approaches
  • to discuss the concept of ‘Everyday Landscapes’.

Background, theory, purpose and application of different landscape assessment approaches will be presented by taking a variety of international perspectives. Student participants will, parallel to a lecture series, apply assessment methods by performing small assessment projects (train and test in practice).

Please contact the undefinedseminar coordinator if you wish to attend as a guest listener.

The IMLA organisation team welcomed a very international student group to the new course. The participants come from different European countries but also from overseas such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Japan. Currently all students are spending the first semester in landscape architecture offices doing an internship. In parallel they are attending an online seminar and doing some practise-oriented research in the offices. The group will start studying in Weihenstephan as from 27th of February 2012.

Professor Ingrid Schegk has taken over the role of the IMLA programme director at HSWT Weihenstephan-Triesdorf. The programme was let successfully until then by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Kias who is now dean of the faculty.

Students... The whole project work took place on site from 4th until 24th of June 2011. The IMLA students were a diverse bunch of young professionals (architecture and landscape architecture) from Bangladesh, China, Germany, India, Niger, Libya, Romania and Saudi Arabia.

This interdisciplinary and international group created unique concepts for the Mureş Riverbanks and the river valley in correlation with the peri-urban areas from Tîrgu Mureş city to Sîngeorgiude Mureş. One result is a comprehensive joint analysis done by all students which illustrates the weaknesses and opportunities of the site. The concepts are mainly dealing with greenway concepts but also illustrate alternative land uses for this river valley. Moreover, the students worked out ideas of funding.

It was a complex task of dealing with ecology, sociology and economy. The authors hope that this unique site north of Tîrgu Mureş will not end up as a new housing area for real estate industries. They are convinced that there is an opportunity for developing a ‘new green heart’ for Tîrgu Mureş which provides people place of recreation, nature, tourism, income and quality of life.

The group is... As an introduction into the first main project the IMLA students went on a field-trip to Northern Italy together with Professor Roman Lenz. The task for the coming weeks will be to develop regional and local landscape concepts along the canal Naviglio Grande. This artificial waterway connects the river Ticino (coming from Lago Maggiore) to the urban region of Milan. The region around this canal bears various potentials for sustainable landscape development. A presentation of the project results is scheduled for 6th of May 2011 at HfWU Nürtingen-Geislingen. The second trimester, organised by professors and lectures from Weihenstephan-Triesdorf, will start in the beginning of June, also at HfWU.

The task was to... The question of how to revitalise this park has been the focus of much research during the last few years. Budapest has lost residents to the suburbs, an estimated 250.000 in the last decade, in part because of the city's lack of green public space. Népliget has a significant history as a large park designed to entertain the working classes that lived in the surrounding neigbourhoods ever since it was first created as an English landscape park in the 19th century.

However, today Népliget is no longer a favourite park according to the 2007 public opinion survey. The aim of this project was to analyse the current situation and to develop specific concepts for revitalizing and rehabilitating the park. During their stay on site in Budapest the IMLA students worked together with landscape architecture students from Corvinus University under the supervision of landscape architect Kristin Faurest and Professor Frieder Luz from Weihenstephan-Triesdorf.

Please download the project brochure for more information on the project's background and the results.
