Learning unit contents

Theme of the "Option Paysage" 2018-2019 : The Ixelles Ponds - towards a better identity of the urban landscape. 
The Option paysage will deal with the Ponds of Ixelles as a case analysis and will develop landscape structure schemes in the local and regional context.
It will be the question of identifying this landscape of the Ponds, to evaluate, define the tools and to develop methodologies for its handing-over, while finishing by the development of structure schemes for the future landscape.
The following questions will be discussed: which long-term development, which recommendations for the future, which management necessary, which diversity?
