Course aim

The F_Land26 Summer School is designed to deepen students’ understanding of vulnerable landscapes through an integrated approach combining landscape planning, environmental analysis, and design practice. The programme addresses key themes such as multidimensional vulnerability, ecosystem services, nature-based solutions, cultural landscapes, governance dynamics, digital tools for territorial analysis, and the evaluation of landscape interventions. By bringing together students and lecturers in an international learning environment, the course promotes interdisciplinary exchange, field-based observation, and the development of innovative design responses for sustainable and resilient territories.
