Landscape is not equal to nature. The concept of landscape implies the development of a mentality strongly influenced by the sum of cultural experiences. Nature is an entity in itself, while the landscape must be interpreted or experienced. Only through the knowledge of the relationships established between landscape and experience, as well as those of the causative agents of these relationships, will it be possible to understand the existing landscape and its creative process. The course tries to introduce the student into the knowledge of the elements that compose the landscape and the relationships between them. The objective is to provide students with the necessary tools to integrate landscape and environmental aspects into their architectural and urban designs. The subject's approach defines the landscape as a result of human interaction within its habitat. Habitat is understood as the environment where human activities are developed. It will study the analytic tools and methods that can be applied to inform and evaluate project decisions, trying to minimize the impact on the environment.
