THE METHODOLOGY VALUE FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE CONCEPTS

Rezumat

This paper explores the challenges of transferring substance and meaning into the conceptualization of form in landscape architecture. Positioned at the intersection of art and utility, architecture in all its forms ultimately concerns people and their quality of life. Consequently, teaching students project techniques becomes a way of guiding them to understand space and to assign meaning to new uses. How could we trasfer value and eliminate kitsch? Which are the main instruments to eliminate the dull and ugly? This article presents the main approaches employed in teaching landscape architecture students at the University of Craiova, aiming to help them achieve a solid understanding of the discipline’s mission.
