Summer School “Traces in the Landscape”
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. Aim To develop participants’ skills in identifying, interpreting, and protecting cultural, natural, and aesthetic elements embedded in the landscape.
