The programme focuses on the deliberate construction and reconstruction of the environment. It involves research, planning and design of landscape to create, maintain, protect and enhance places.
The MSc Landscape Architecture and Planning focuses on the deliberate construction and reconstruction of the environment. It involves research, planning and design of landscape to create and maintain places to be functional, meaningful, sustainable and beautiful. In order to comprehend the complex relationships between people, nature and landscape, the study integrates concepts and approaches from both the creative arts and the natural and social sciences and incorporates the latest advances in technology. It combines the professional skills of physical design and spatial planning with the ability to conduct research and express a scholarly attitude. Landscape Architecture and Planning is concerned with the creative process of making plans and designs; with the organization of interactive or participatory decision making processes; and with the development and management of scientific knowledge. The study focuses primarily on the rural-urban metropolitan landscape of The Netherlands and Western Europe in its global context of cultural, ecological, technological, economic and political transformations.
