ECLAS represents the interests of the academic community of landscape architects and landscape planners within the wider European social and institutional context. ECLAS provides an internationally recognized forum for academic exchange and international cooperation between universities working in the field of landscape architecture, and represents a key platform for discussion of specific issues currently of concern within the discipline.
Conference Scope - specifics
A fundamental task of Landscape architecture is to examine the typical characteristics and potential of a place, to uncover its genius loci and thus extract the specificity of the location. And so projects with a tangible relationship with one place arise, their context embedded in the existing relational systems. The shaping of cultural landscapes owes much to regional experiences and individual interpretations alike. Research and teaching methods also shape the thinking of future generations of landscape and environment planners. The immediate task is to emphasize differences of quality and to concentrate on significant strategies for research and teaching against the backdrop of globalization,. How can we learn from the widespread international
network of specific experiences and draw inspiration from them?
The Conference scope will be approached by five topics raising questions that serve as a frame of reference and orientation for the authors.
We are seeking proposals for papers for presentation at the conference. In addition to the refereed papers and posters, the conference will feature eminent keynote speakers enriching the conference with their specific perspectives.
