Urban fabric types and microclimate response – assessment and design improvement. Final Report. TU Wien, 2014.

The European Landscape Convention has introduced a Europe-wide concept of protection, management and planning of all landscapes – not just the outstanding ones. This book reflects on the background to the establishment of the convention, takes a critical look at examples and experiences of its implementation, and discusses future developments for t...

The European Landscape Convention implies a requirement for signatory states to identify their urban landscapes which goes beyond the traditional focus on individual parks and green spaces and the links between them. Landscape ecological approaches can provide a useful model for identifying urban landscape types across a whole territory, but the va...

1 ABSTRACT Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change; they are also the chosen living environment of a significant majority of Europe's population. Global warming increasingly influences the urban climate and affects the future health and well-being of the urban population. The urban climate is mainly influenced by th...

Before concentrating on the differences between landscape planning and landscape design it is useful to search for similarities which unite the two sub-disciplines. Where they exist, these similarities should be reflected in the form of a common theoretical base. Conversely, if there is no common theoretical base this divergence will occur naturall...

1 Five years on: looking back – looking forward… For those who are not yet acquainted with it, the LE:NOTRE Project is a Thematic Network in landscape architecture funded by the European Union within the framework of the ERASMUS Programme. According to the European Union: "Thematic Networks are one of the main innovations of the Socrates-Erasmus pr...

Architektura krajobrazu jest zarazem młodą i nadzwyczaj zróżnicowaną dyscypliną akademicką. Integruje wiele zakresów tematycznych i operuje różnymi skalami w czasie i przestrzeni, a także wypełnia historyczną lukę pomiędzy sztukami pięknymi a naukami przyrodniczymi, łącząc zarazem aspekty humanistyczne i technologiczne. Architektura krajobrazu jest...
