Landscape Architecture

The Master’s program in Landscape Architecture is designed as a 3-4‑semester project-based course of study. At its core are collaborative, interdisciplinary design projects (studios), which make up at least 50% of the program. You can define your individual areas of focus in consultation with the four core professorships of Landscape Architecture. • Landscape Architecture and Public SpaceThis chair focuses on the moderation and design of development processes in cities and landscapes. Emphasis is placed on the careful conception of urban spaces that respond to the current needs of social life. • Landscape Architecture and Regional Open SpacesThis unit works on the development of larger spatial systems shaped by cities and cultural landscapes, operating at the intersection of open‑space theory, open‑space planning, and landscape development. • Landscape Architecture and TransformationThis chair engages analytically, conceptually, and through design with the transformation of complex landscape structures, particularly the redevelopment of all types of brownfields as well as decommissioned industrial or infrastructure sites. • Green Technologies in Landscape ArchitectureThis professorship develops innovative biological‑technical design approaches to create new spatial and architectural typologies, examining both their spatial-aesthetic qualities and their technical performance. Core components of the program • Design Projects (15 ECTS) covering topics such as:the qualification of public spaces, e.g. urban parks and squaresthe development of regional open‑space systems, e.g. energy landscapesthe transformation of industrial landscapes, e.g. redevelopment of brownfieldsarchitectural botany and innovative green systems, e.g. façade greening • Project‑related modules (seminars, workshops) that provide in‑depth knowledge related to the thematic areas listed above. • Subject‑specific modules such as lectures and exercises, which you may choose freely according to your specialization and academic interests. • the qualification of public spaces, e.g. urban parks and squares • the development of regional open‑space systems, e.g. energy landscapes • the transformation of industrial landscapes, e.g. redevelopment of brownfields • architectural botany and innovative green systems, e.g. façade greening You select one design project per semester. All assignments are practice‑oriented and address current societal and landscape‑architectural challenges. • If Applicable introductory semester (§35 FPSO) — depending on prior education:one design project (15 ECTS)Bachelor‑level modules in landscape architecture/planning (15 ECTS) • 1st and 2nd regular semesters:one design project per semester (15 ECTS each)accompanying modules (15 ECTS per semester) • 3rd semester (regular):Master’s Thesis:An independently developed project or design/planning assignment of your choice, or a written theoretical‑scientific thesis. • one design project (15 ECTS) • Bachelor‑level modules i
