Dear All,
UNISCAPE and Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette are glad to announce
the international conference
"Landscape & Imagination. Towards a new baseline for education in a changing world",
which will be held in Paris 2-4 May 2013.
Aim
of the conference is to discuss the contribution that education and
training in landscape science can make to governance of a world in
transition.
The
conference will address the following questions: How can emerging
trends be addressed in landscape education and research undertaken by
universities, departments of architecture, landscape management, town
planning, landscape ecology, horticulture, agronomy, and so on? What
links should be developed with other scientific fields? What knowledge
and know-how needs to be reconsidered? How can different perceptions of
the environment be considered in the education system? How can we "move
beyond modernity” and use the resources of imagination to design the
foundations of sustainable landscapes? The debate during this
international conference is also intended to contribute to the
establishment of a world landscape convention that is currently being
studied as an initiative of IFLA.
