Abstract :
[en] The aim of the seminar is to present the Landscape Laboratory and to explore the
different directions of thoughts towards which Roland Gustavsson’s work is
pointing, by presenting experiences directly inspired by Alnarp, and other examples
exploring similar issues in different contexts. The Landscape Laboratory is a place for multidisciplinary research and
experimentation in a 1 to 1 scale. The approach is based on theoretical foundations that
share a belief in the essential character of ‘embodied knowledge’, where practical and
theoretical knowledge is constructed through dialogue. Starting from the presentation
of concrete examples (in Alnarp and elsewhere), the seminar will look at the
specificity of the research methodology developed by Roland Gustavsson, and study
its applicability to other sites, such as for example the Meuse valley around Liège.
