Anotace(semestr B232)
This optional one-semester course deals with the processes that are of historical importance for the transformation and modeling of cities and cultural landscapes in the area of historic urbanism, parks, and gardens and discusses the traditional elements, strategies, procedures, and techniques in which urban landscape spaces and their natural systems are indispensable in structuring traditional forms of sustainable settlements and their surroundings. Development and transformations of gardens, parks, and urban landscapes, philosophy of founding and design, basic principles, techniques, and techniques will be discussed and presented in a wide variety of selected examples and accompanied by relevant field excursions. All this, on selected eloquent examples, will illustrate important cultural, historical, natural, and ecological processes that shape cultural landscapes and urban environments. In this respect, appropriate strategies, procedures, and methods for their conservation, care, and protection will also be discussed and selected on the ground during thematic excursions. Based on the knowledge, experience, and practice that will be presented during the course through presentations, case studies, and study field excursions, the students will actively participate in the preparation of papers in the form of written studies or essays on chosen topics.
