  • Overview

    The prehistoric and historic character of landscape are significant factors in how landscape is used, developed and characterised; methods covered will include phenomenology, performance, psychogeography and walking. This course will explore subjective and experiential approaches to studying past landscapes as a counterpoint to more traditional objective, quantifiable landscape character assessments.
    This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to:
    • understand how we experience heritage in the landscape today at an embodied and sensory level;
    • build up baseline knowledge of a range of currently used experiential and subjective approaches to landscape, including phenomenology, psychogeography, walking and performance, taking a multi-disciplinary approach;
    • gain an awareness of the potential of subjective and qualitative approaches to inform, augment, or combine with, current landscape characterisation practice;
    • understand connections between theory and practice in experiential approaches to landscape;
    • prepare for future careers in relevant areas of research and practice.
