Abstract
Exposure to unfamiliar sites and understanding site assessment methodologies are critical skills in the field of landscape architecture. Creating experiential learning environments, both locally and internationally, plays a vital role in effectively teaching this discipline.
In the upcoming seminar, Ms. Susanne Elisabeth Trumpf will recount her experiences from a one-week teaching exchange in Fall 2024 with Dr. Jorg Sieweke from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. During this exchange, they facilitated a one-day on-site workshop and began the development of an international student mobility program for landscape architecture.
