The Öresund Design Research Seminars
Last changed: 04 March 2024
The design of urban landscapes is a rich and complex field that involves knowledge encompassing the aesthetic, political, cultural, social and more. The interdisciplinary research platform the Öresund Design Research Seminars (ÖDRS) brings together scholars from the Öresund region working with the design of urban landscapes to share theories, methodologies and research findings.
ÖDRS’ ethos is to be a sharing environment where scholars help each other’s progress on their research and work. The ÖDRS aim to stimulate and empower research in the design of urban landscapes and to create the foundation for novel research approaches and perspectives. The seminars gather scholars working with a whole range of disciplinary perspectives, primarily from the design disciplines and humanities. ÖDRS nurture research that can question and inform design practice and thereby ultimately seeks to improve the quality of our cities and landscapes.
The University of Copenhagen, Research Group for Landscape Architecture and Urbanism, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, subject area Design of Urban Landscapes/ research platform Urban Futures, organize the ÖDRS for researchers at all stages of their professional life – from young to emeritus – presenting and discussing everything from early ideas to finished publications. The seminar also serves as a meeting point for international guest scholars and researchers based in the Öresund region.
Since 2014, there have been 2-3 ÖDRS seminars each year, alternatively in Malmö and Copenhagen.
The ÖDRS are founded and organized by:
Lisa Diedrich, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Svava Riesto, University of Copenhagen
