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:

• Bachelor-phase
