abstract: During the spring semester 2011, the New Master Track Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture TU Delft hosts its third public lecture series, cultivating reflection on our educational and scientific position in an international context.
Starting April 2011, speakers from different professional backgrounds and with contrasting approaches are invited to reflect on the meaning of LANDSCAPE in their work in a series of monthly lectures. The focus of this 3rd lecture series is on the approach of memories that build up the many strata of LANDSCAPE, versus an ideas-based approach - arising from and connecting back to memory. The series will reflect on the history and evolution of life forms and landforms in wilderness and culture. The speakers will explore the role of humans in an ever-changing LANDSCAPE.
The lectures and discussions take place in the landscape architecture design studio. They are open to students of the faculty, scientific staff, interested professionals and the general public.

abstract: The unique Landscape Theatre Ferstival Oerol on the Island Terschelling in the Wolrd Heritage Waddensea will be 30 years old in 2011. Oerol has the important ambition to further develop the interesting form of temporary landscape art. In light thereof this year, the festival will formulate the starting points for a long term programme for landscape art. To place these ideas in a broader context, Oerol has approached a number of partners: the Waddenacademie, the Technical University of Delft, CBK Drenthe, Keunstwurk Friesland and the Drachten Smallingerland Museum. In co-operation with these partners, Oerol organized a three day seminar during the festival titled 'Beauty and Brains'. During this three day seminar, held from Thursday the 17th until Saturday the 19th of June, Oerol engaged partners and special guests in a meaningful discussion and chart the possibilities for the development of land art, focusing on the relationships between landscapes, the arts and science.

abstract: Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. The landscape analogy that accompanied architecture for a long time in tectonics or ornament is now transforming the concepts of form and space. The landscape analogy has moved from marginal subjects to the core of the discipline. We are looking for principals of architectural theory, which can not be derived anymore from an big predominant ideology. What framework for architecture do we still need in the more or less lucky freedom of our time? We might want to use the proposed exercise of knowledge transfer to rediscover some basic principles. A study of landscape as a means of architecture could lead to such a basic theory, not derived from any ideology nor adopting philosophical terms to a practical field. We prefer looking in our own backyard, enjoying the freedom of thoughts about our own subject matter.

abstract: The Minimum Impact House in Frankfurt am Main is a sustainable solution for low cost living in city centres - a prototype typology with a minimal footprint on a leftover urban space with a bottom-up approach. The planning process itself became part of a scientific study. In a comparative study we compared advantages and disadvantages of a single-family house in the centre versus new building zones. This included qualitative an quantitative comparison over a life cycle of 50 years with construction, running, maintenance, disassembly and location related mobility. DGJ found out that in conventional construction the running uses about 50% of the primary energy, the rest is divided into the modules fabrication and mobility. The total energy use of the prototype is 63% lower than the compared conventional new building under existing rules. The climate-change effect could be reduced by 68% per housing unit.
