100 books of landscape architecture / Wageningen_2008
List of
Literature concept 0.1
Introduction
After
critical reflection on the current curriculum for landscape architecture
students, a gap is come to
light with regards to the list of literature that we think students should have
read before leaving our
university program. The literature list should have the following
characteristics:
• Increasing
level of difficulty
•
Increasing level of specialization
•
Increasing level of theory versus practice
•
Increasing level of freedom of choice
• Building
from solid scientific foundations to critical reflection upon these principles
Also the
list should accommodate for the difference in origin of the students that enter
at the
masters-level
A problem
that occurs is that though international students may come to experience the Wageningen
method of planning there is no English literature on the Wageningen method.
The list
should not exceed 100 books even though it does at the moment.
This
document proposes a list of literature that should be read in the following
respective phases:
•

Groen maakt mensen minder impulsief
Mensen houden meer rekening met de toekomst wanneer ze
beslissingen nemen in natuurlijke omgevingen dan in stedelijke omgevingen.
Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van neurowetenschappers en
evolutionair psychologen van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Blootstelling aan
natuur zorgt ervoor dat mensen zich minder impulsief gedragen: ze kiezen vaker
voor de lange termijn dan voor de korte termijn. Een stedelijke omgeving maakt mensen juist
impulsiever. Het effect van natuur op menselijk beslisgedrag is van belang bij
het aanpakken van problemen zoals afvalproductie, klimaatverandering, en de
explosieve bevolkingsgroei. Want juist strategieën en gedrag die zich slechts
richten op de korte termijn, veroorzaken de huidige sociale en milieuproblemen.
De resultaten verschijnen deze week in het tijdschrift Proceedings of the Royal
Society-B.
Korte termijnwinst
Gedragsverandering
“Een groot deel van
de wereldbevolking woont in steden. Door manieren te zoeken om mensen in steden
toch in contact te brengen met de natuur, kunnen we gedrag ten aanzien van
bijvoorbeeld het milieu positief en wellicht structureel veranderen.”
Is dit een pleidooi voor meer groen in de stad?

1538 _ Titiaan _ Venus van Urbino
Algernon Charles Swinburne
What Titian's Venus is concerned - Sappho and Anactoria in one, a
four lazy fingers buried in les fleur de son jardin - how a creature manages to
keep its virtuosness within thirty square miles of this Venus, is beyond
my understanding.

2010_Carl Steinitz _ Ways of Designing
Designing
something is an art. It requires judgment. It is not a science, although it
depends on science. There are no perfect formulae, but there are methods. There
is no universal toolkit, but there are tools. And you cannot copy an example,
but you can gain experience.
