Learning unit contents

The course clarifies the different notions of aesthetics: study of art and study of sensitivity.
It develops a phenomenology of the sensitive approach of landscape in conjunction with the diffferent senses:
-Attention to openings in close connection with breathing (Air)
-Analyse of rhythms in close relation with hearing (Water)
-Approach of grain and textures in close relation with touching (Earth)
-Observation of colour and light in close relation with seeing ( Fire)
These different sections focus on a joint and multisensory approach of the sensitive landscape. The course emphazises that the landscape architect 's attitude towards projects is necessarily based on a prior responsiveness to the site.
