¬ Landscape Planning as the more or less integrated recreational and ecological
contribution to local, regional and nationwide land use planning, including
landscape management, landscape repair and preservation of natural beauty,
¬ Nature Protection as preservation of biotopes, species and natural ressources
in general, conservation of wild life and nature reserves.
An European Education programme in Landscape Architecture should include,
besides the traditional subjects mentioned above
¬ one year study with practical projects in an other European country,
¬ one semester professional work in an european landscape architect office,
¬ one project or seminar with students of a foreign (european) country,
¬ study of two european languages (one english) to speak, read and write fluently.
¬ Study of one noneuropean important language (chinese, japanese, arabian).
¬ Information on and analysis of different cultures, civilisations , lifestyles,
housing conditions, regional traditions, differences of climate, including interiorscape,
regional environmental problems, characteristics of landscapes,
biospheres, flora and fauna,
¬ Working together with european non professionals in one project,
¬ European directives, laws and regulations,
¬ Laws and regulations of at least two other european countries (neighbor
countries).
The concern of EUROSCAPE is the development of bordercrossing European
Modules of education in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Management.
They can be developed either as independant modules in the process of
Lifelong Learning, offered in private-public partnership, as european packages
integrated in the curriculum of Landscape Architecture Education of any school
or as a special program for an „European Landscape Architect” degree (Master).
The proposal of the LE:NOTRE working group “Professional Practise” for an
“European Landscape Open University” goes in this direction. A regional forum
in Cracow with Poland, Germany and further east central european countries is
in preparation for 2004. EUROLANDSCAPE is involved in the preparations.
Subject of European Modules should be:
¬ European Professional Languages: Improvement of knowledge in european
languages by comparing studies of planning, environmental, economical and
social materials from the European Union and the whole of Europe
¬ European Culture: Definition of European identity and diversity and regional
particularities (in the broad sense of culture according to Hofstede) for
planning and land use.
¬ European and Global Values: Experiencing, knowing, tolerating and accepting
ethnological and religious differences of people living and working
in Europe and outside and their input in the future of Europe.
¬ European Working Techniques: Approaches of regional and international
professional practise in urban, suburban and rural areas
¬ European Regulations and Law: Contence, validity, working fields, opportunities
of transfer of european directives, regulations, laws, conventions, treaties
and agreements
¬ European Landscapes: Qualities and uniquness of european landscapes, discussion
of the relation ‘man - culture - nature’ under the motto: Culture
creates and protects Nature
¬ European Planning Approaches: Differences in Europe between north and
south, east and west in historical and social deductions, dealing with environmental
problems and acting pragmatical.
