OUTPUTS 2002-2003
Survey of landscape
architecture education |
 |
|
In the past several attempts have been made to survey landscape
architecture schools, in particular by EFLA (the European Foundation
for Landscape Architecture) and IFLA (the International Federation
of Landscape Architects).
All of them, however, have been either narrow in their approach
(e.g. they have covered only a small number of European Union member
countries) of they are incomplete (in that they have included only
institutions which offer full fledged degree programmes in landscape
architecture and have ignored those universities in which landscape
architecture teaching and research takes place within the context
of other degree programmes). In either case such surveys are rapidly
outdated, as changes overtake the information which is printed in
the handbooks, often before they are printed and distributed.

This project will attempt to get around the above problems and overcome
the shortcomings of previous surveys. Firstly, all 82 schools in the
Network will be included, whether or not they offer a full landscape
architecture degree programme, while other schools which had not formally
joined the network in time to be included in the proposal for 2002-03
will be actively encouraged to take part. Secondly, by both collecting
the raw data and outputting the results of the survey via the internet,
the information presented will always be up to date, assuming that
is, the schools themselves are willing to make the necessary alterations
as and when they become necessary. This will be possible at any time
from any computer connected to the internet.

This survey plans to answer the following questions:
- Where do landscape schools currently
exist in Europe (= higher education institutions in which landscape
architecture teaching and/or research takes place)?
- What different degree programmes in landscape
architecture are being offered, and at which levels, and who is
responsible for them?
- Which subject areas and themes are dealt
with by the various taught course units which go to contribute
to degree programmes? This will aim to make use of the standard
course descriptions which are recommended for ERASMUS ECTS Information
Packs aimed providing information for incoming exchange students
- How are courses structured and which
components do they contain?
- Who is involved in landscape architecture
teaching and research in Europe and what are their main teaching
responsibilities and research interests?
