Course Content

The 5-day study trip brings students into contact, both theoretically and in practice, with realised projects by leading international landscape and garden architects, architects, artists and spatial planners. During the study trip the student increases his international involvement and awareness, he gains insight into cultural differences, values and norms. The study trip emphasizes specific and current themes and "global issues", such as: climate, food, health, urbanisation, migration, energy, ...

Architecture, art, spatial planning, garden and landscape are central to this study trip. The international context of each project is discussed and explained on location.

In preparation for the study trip, the student examines one of the locations/sites to be visited (pre-site visit). Whether or not with (a) fellow student(s) or on an independent basis. He makes an inventory and analyses the necessary data via international professional literature and magazines, portfolios, internet and other sources. The preliminary research results in a paper that is presented to a group of fellow students on location during the study trip. The theoretical research is tested on location/on site against practice and reality (site visit). The realized design is inventoried and analysed. Finally, a paper is submitted with the comparative results of pre-site and site visit.

The study trip is supported by a travel syllabus that combines all the data from the projects and fits in with an international perspective.
