In research and teaching, the Chair focuses on a critical approach to current and future-oriented questions of landscape architecture. The focus is on the main topics of Design Visualization, New Media, and History and Theory. The development of a spatial and cultural understanding of landscape and the search for creative forms that respond to the challenges of our constantly changing environment are central issues in all fields.<\/p>\n
In Design Visualization, large-scale landscape projects are developed by combining traditional landscape design with advanced CNC-modelling techniques. It also researches new design methods and digital tools, embeds current developments of information technology and tests them within a landscape-specific project.<\/p>\n
The Chair applies a repertoire of different audio-visual media in order to stimulate a critical examination of the perception of landscapes. The creative potential of visual and acoustic effects and presentation methods in landscape architecture is continuously studied, reflected upon, and refined.<\/p>\n
Findings from research and teaching as well as anthologies on theoretical questions are presented in the publications series Pamphlet<\/a>. The scientific publications series Landscript<\/a> with its international editorial board is devoted to contemporary landscape aesthetics and the immanence of landscape architecture in our culture.<\/p>\n In 2010, the Landscape Visualization and Modeling Lab LVML<\/a> was founded together with Adrienne Gr\u00eat-R\u00e9gamey (IRL), supplemented since 2016 by the AudioVisual Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christophe Girot has been a Full Professor of Landscape Architecture at ETH Zurich since 2001.
