Overview

The master's program Landscape Architecture for Global Sustainability from Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) offers unique opportunities of studying and designing contested landscapes and territories. Contested landscape and territories are the object of contention or competition; human beings struggle for it.

The programme contains a sequence of three studio courses that apply a critical question-driven approach. Constant exchange of diverse disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives within participants will be encouraged and supported.

Job opportunities

Candidates graduating from this programme will be affiliated with the profession of landscape architecture.

Their environmental problem-solving skills suit potential future jobs at a variety of scales, for example in:

regional land-use planning

land management

environmental rehabilitation

master-planning

blue-green infrastructure

community activism, and site-design interventions, nationally as well as internationally.

Programme Structure

Landscape Architecture for Global Sustainability (GLA301) with its essential challenges like global urbanization, migration, climate change, loss of biodiversity, to name a few, in the first semester will be followed by extensive fieldwork abroad (GLA302).

The topic of the first field course in autumn 2021 will be climate change adaptation. The comprehensive data, and rich experience—gathered in the field—will be subsequently processed within a design studio framework.

Scientific analysis will be accompanied by theoretical and empirical reflection. Theoretical and historical perspectives on landscapes in a globalized world will be provided (GLA303).
