The objective of this small workshop was to do a more in-depth presentation of our different universities. We also wanted to get insights on the different Landscape architect programs in our respective countries.
In addition one of the aims was to start the collaboration in preparation for, or adjacent to, the IFLA conference 2023. Traditionally the Universities of the hosting countries for the IFLA conference makes contribution on paper reviews, student charrette, joint courses and events and competitions.
We talked shortly about:
Some ideas:
Having joint zoom lectures in some courses could be a good way to try out some collaboration.
To do: further contact with teachers and program responsible. Maria and Dennis?
We hope for teacher and student exchanges as soon as Covid allows.
To do: Applications for funding. Pia and Emily?
Making a joint course for a competition means that we have to start planning now. One idea that was that it would be possible to have the masterthesis for landscape architects formed like a contest. That would be a good timeframe in spring periods 2023 for Sweden.
To do: further planning. Maria and Dennis?
There is a strict program for the competition organized by IFLA.
To do: Contact the competition organization for IFLA. Caroline?
