Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Landscape Physiognomy Analysis module aims to familiarize students with the concept of landscape physiognomy (visual and compositional aspects, the importance of landscape values). During lectures, methods of landscape visual analysis and assessment will be presented, including methods used interdisciplinarily in landscape sciences (including landscape architecture) in Poland and around the world. During laboratory classes, students will apply the methods they have learned in practice, preparing works in the field of landscape analysis. They will also learn about the possibilities of using landscape analysis and assessment in documents related to landscape management (including landscape audit).
