2nd PhD Landscape Community Colloquium: Landscape Research Methods

Activity: Talk or presentationTalk or presentation at a workshop, seminar, course or other meeting

Description

The second PhD Landscape Community Colloquium presents the ongoing PhD works from the Section of Landscape Architecture at TU Delft by discussing research methods in landscape architecture.
Landscape research methods encompass diverse approaches to understanding, analyzing, and designing landscapes. They are crucial for investigating various aspects of landscapes, from their ecological functions to their social and cultural dimensions.
Research methods in landscape architecture embrace empirical inquiry, design thinking, and stakeholder engagement, ranging from site analysis to design research, from participatory methods to interviews and questionnaires, from fieldwork to case studies, etc.
By employing diverse research methods, landscape architects can gain insights into the complex interactions between people, environments, and landscapes and develop innovative practices.
The Colloquium will seek to address the following questions. What methods do landscape researchers use? Are they different from those of other disciplines? How could they be implemented?
PhD candidates will present one research method used in their research, describe it, and argue how and why this method is relevant to their research.
Organized by Laura Cipriani (curator), Yuka Yoshida, Yifei Zhao (organizational secretariat).
