NIGK13006U Landscape Film
MSc Programme in Landscape Architecture
This course is an advanced design studio.
The course explores the landscape architectural design process through the use of film media.
The aim of the studio is to enhance the landscape architectural student’s ability to perform as an design entrepreneur with the film media.The studio focuses on how film can be applied to enhance and contribute with new aspects to the architectural design process.
Film emphasize time, sound and context as key subject for the
landscape architectural agenda and innovation. Hence the landscape
film studio is realized as methodological investigations in the
landscape design process.
The studio train the student in
rethinking parameters and scope of the landscape architectural
methodology through the media used. Landscape film studio explores
a particular subject every year that challenge contemporary
practice and investigate possible innovation strategies.
The film media is studied in workshops for capacities of
registration, analysis and communication of landscape architectural
agendas. How the film media can generate or empower new values in
landscape architectural design. A design project integrating film
or spanning from film is expected as a final result.
Landscapefilm studio is work intensive.
The main objectives of the studio are to provide different
academic and artistic competence for understanding of time, space
and landscape. It focuses on the film media's effects on
the perception, reflection, development, design and representation
of space in the landscape architectural practice.
The aim of the studio project itself is to gain insight into
(1) the theoretical discourse on time and space
(2) the role/significance of film versus classic architectural
design tools (drawing, models, diagrams, notations,
photography)
(3) possible filmic methods of registration and communication
through experimental exercises and
(4) a filmic research by design-based project dialogue with a
specific context, forum, situation or methods/tools.
Knowledge:
Through readings and discussions the student will learn about
innovation strategies and the film media's relations to
landscape architecture. The student is introduced to basic film
registration techniques and the newest research within the field.
Analogous the student learns about time and the representation of
spatial dynamics as a key element of the landscape architecture.
Through a design project the student learn how to use
film in a spatial design practice. Additionally the student is to
learn to argue for a landscape architectural agenda with or within
a specific 'filmic' methodology.
Skills:
The course focuses on how time can be highlighted as a value in
the skills and projects available for the landscape architect. The
skills obtained include
a) the ability to frame, analyse, formulate and debate arguments,
strategies and systematic thinking in landscape architecture - in
relation to time, film and spatial aspects.
b) the student obtains methodological skills by exploring,
developing and testing the film camera in a concrete project design
setting.
Competences:
- To describe, conceptualise, discuss and apply knowledge of
innovation in landscape architectural related media and
methodologies; Predominantly film in combination
with drawings, text, visualisations, diagrams, models.
- To perform innovative through a focus on capturing time dynamics
through film in a specific landscape designproject
- To show and communicate a critical and reflective view on
methodologies and entrepreneurship in the field of landscape
architecture.
Please see Absalon.
The studio does not restrict itself to specific theoretical positions, themes or platforms in the landscape architectural field. Focus is on investigating a specific filmic methodology within or in relation to landscape architecture: How landscape architects may capitalize further on film in working with living and dynamic spatial contexts - like habitats, seasons, urban development and climatic conditions. How a film perspective can lead to new knowledge about spatial surroundings in the design proces.
Landscape film studio takes off with readings of basic innovation as well as the new field of landscape film literature. Throughout the studio the subject is addressed in innovation-minded workshops, which focus both on media, production and outcome issues, - on methodology, design process and design product.
In the end, the student does a design project that addresses new processes or production models in the attempt to capitalize on film and time. The design project is examined for its innovative value: How the proposed design project capitalize or gain from the use of the film media.
Innovative external professionals will be invited to present their methodologies to qualify the studio subjects. These invited lectures are to work as possible role models for the students.
The studio will be taught through small group works/individual work.
The student is expected to participate in intensive design studio group work. The student is expected to read and prepare for presentations and discussion of the studio literature. The student is to expected to explore new media creatively.

- Written assignment, Udarbejdes løbende gennem kursetOral examination, 30 minutesThe 30 minute oral examination is based on reviewing the exam hand-in.
Exam hand-in is at least one film, approximately 3 Posters, at least one model and a A4 process portfolio.
The A4 process portfolio is prepared as a documentation of student work with the film media through the course, while the final film, 3xA0 project design panels and model are prepared in the latter half of the course. A combined grade is given after the oral examination. - Aid
