About the Institute
The Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies at the Department of Architecture addresses contemporary issues of social equity and environmental transformation. Research spans the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional design, civil engineering, territorial planning and social sciences. The institutes focus is on the production of landscape and human settlements through a range of different scales, from the local to the global, including studies in landscape and designed ecologies, design strategies, energy and food production, material stocks and flows, health and socio-economic development. The Institute seeks to promote a critical discourse, qualitatively and quantitatively addressing pressing environmental and social challenges, and cultivating independent, inventive, and proactive positions engaging with present and future processes of environmental transformation.
DELUS – Journal for Landscape and Urban Studies is an annual publication that explores emerging themes, topics and methods from landscape and urban studies. The LUS Talks is a public lecture series, organised by doctoral students, which addresses critical questions in the field of landscape and urban studies.
