Learning unit contents
"Landscape architecture" is a project and research field which is rapidly developing, generating a sea change within contemporary societies. Already described by H. Repton as an inherent part of landscape gardening in the 18th century, this sector has long been kept apart from official approaches to land management. It is now re-emerging through a new "green revolution" which puts into question the different ways (through ecology, the environment, sustainability, and balance between systems, material and human beings) in which our ways of acting and thinking relate to living spaces and to architecture. Landscape architecture, as a subject which is both independent of and integrated into town planning, has its own theories, methods and techniques. These are subject to discussion, exercises and experimentation on site, with the aim of raising architects' awareness of temporalities and materials affecting the design of component systems which are not organised into a hierarchy. Changes to contemporary landscapes lead to manufactured landscapes characterised by fragmentation and dislocation, which are difficult to grasp in an overarching manner. When it is based on a systemic approach, landscape architecture is an integrated process offering methodological and theoretical ways to respond to questions posed by a new typology of nature (urban and infrastructural landscape, interstitial space, urban countryside, wasteland and brown field sites, urban forestation systems, and/or water and landscape, etc.).
