Landscape theory into logbooks: an approach in architecture and urbanism learning

Abstract

This text presents an educational experiment adopted with undergraduate students of Architecture and Urbanism at Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE). Our aim is to present to the students some landscape theory impressions. It is assumed that we are a whole part of the landscape and that our knowledge about it comes from how we perceive and experience it. The experiment is funded into logbooks individually elaborated by the students. Their thoughts were presented among the pictures or the drawings of landscapes in which where produced by them. As such, we have aimed toward the students to develop their critical thinking about the landscape in which they have been interacting. Finally the incorporation of the students into the architecture practice, therefore reveals to be a promising practice for the Architecture, the Urbanism, and the Landscaping Learning.
