Lectures Bachelor program

All Bachelor lectures in the 1st, 2nd and 4th semester - all of them in German only(!) - are predominantly linked to the current projects in the Bachelor design studios and provide all necessary information on the theory of landscape design. The additional independent study of scientific literature is necessary to get a deeper understanding of the core issues of landscape architecture. Manuscripts are available for all registered Bachelor students also in order to get well prepared for the written exams at the end of each semester.

Please note: You are obliged to register for the lecture and (seperately!) for the exams in TUMonline.
Master please note: the lectures in the 1st and 2nd semester do not count for the Master of Landscape Architecture (§35)

1st semester Bachelor lecture in landscape architecture (not eligible for Master students)

2nd semester Bachelor lecture in landscape architecture (not eligible for Master students)

Content
The exercise "History of Landscape Architecture" deals with the development of landscape architecture since the beginning of the 19th century in the context of urban planning, socio-political and scientific developments. The excercises and related lectures shed light on changes in the self-image of the profession, in concepts of urban green planning and exemplary works of public and private green spaces in international comparison.

The objective of the excercise is learning current and historical design patterns and design elements, as well as the historical basics in landscape architecture.

Exam
At the end of the semester, 3 of 5 exercises must be passed for a successful completion of the course. No separate exam registration is required - exam and assessment are integrated into the module WZ1097 Orientierendes Projekt Landschaftsplanung 1.
