SUMMARY:Summer School “Traces in the Landscape”
DESCRIPTION:The Summer School “Traces in the Landscape” is devoted to the study of landscape perceived as a multilayered palimpsest shaped by natural\, cultural\, and social processes occurring over time. During the workshops\, academic staff and participants will jointly reflect on how to identify traditional architectural and landscape forms in relation to local identity\, historical knowledge\, and the relationship between people and place. Students will also focus on the natural and sensory dimensions of landscape\, such as colour\, texture\, rhythm\, and plant structures\, as well as on biophilia as a concept of reconnecting humans with nature. \n\n\n\nAim \n\n\n\nTo develop participants’ skills in identifying\, interpreting\, and protecting cultural\, natural\, and aesthetic elements embedded in the landscape. \n\n\n\nDates \n\n\n\n1–9 July 2026 \n\n\n\nOrganisers \n\n\n\nUWM in Olsztyn\, Department of Landscape Architecture (Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry) \n\n\n\nRules and regulations of the task\n\n\n\nRecruitment: 19 May 2026 – 5 June 2026 – https://forms.office.com/e/vi15xe9YSB  \n\n\n\nREGULATIONS \n\n\n\nForms of Activity \n\n\n\nLectures and landscape studio\, \n\n\n\nPrintmaking studio\, \n\n\n\nField sessions (Olsztyn Old Town\, Olsztynek\, Reszel\, Łężany\, Święta Lipka\, Lidzbark Warmiński\, Municipality of Stawiguda). \n\n\n\nTarget Group \n\n\n\nStudents interested in architecture\, landscape architecture\, design\, environmental studies\, or related fields. \n\n\n\nStudents of first-cycle or second-cycle studies. \n\n\n\nResponsible Person: Prof. Agnieszka Jaszczak – Email: agnieszka.jaszczak@uwm.edu.pl \n\n\n\nContact Person: Fabian Miszewski – Email: fabian.miszewski@uwm.edu.pl
