Reviewing Sketches

Our session started with a review of last week's sketching theme. The group on urban streets presented their sketches as they could not meet last week. After this, we introduced into the second seminar theme, the landscape layers.

Lecture by Professor Diedrich Bruns about 'Landscape Layers'

In order to make sure that all participants are on the same level of information Diedrich Bruns from Kassel University, Germany, gave an introduction into this theme.

The recording is available here:

A short feedback poll made obvious that the majority of the participants is familiar with the theme presented.

Tasks for the next session

Landscape Layers

  • In the lecture, two approaches have been mentioned:
    • time based approach leading to a 'landscape biography'
    • layering according to different information levels in the landscape such as geomorphology, topography, water, habitats, settlements, points of interest etc.
  • Since our time is very restricted and most of you will be facing difficulties finding all this information we recommend you to concentrate on the time based approach
  • However, relevant landscape/urban features such as water bodies, topography and/or larger green spaces should be added in your analysis in any case. In this respect you may extend the territorial scope of your case in order to show its wider landscape context.
  • Please select the layers you want to analyse according to your specific interest. The types of layers will surely vary according to the character of your area
  • Please consider no less than 5 layers in order to assure comparable results within the groups

Time Frame

  • Results need to be uploaded by Monday, 28th of November
  • Please add short explanations to your layers
