The landscape workshop, strategies and objectives, empathy, architecture as the answer

Abstract

In the landscape workshop we try to make the project process, to some measure, verifiable and objective, and to respond to the student's research and diagnostic work. It was an initial objective to avoid the subjective evaluation/correction of the students' work, therefore, we tried to make sure that, through the process and the research work around the questions raised, the students reached some project objectives so that these objectives were the rule to measure and assess to what extent the architecture, finally proposed, responded to the stated objectives. The process of theorisation of the learning methodology has been a natural trial and error process in which we try to make the students find the architecture that is their answer to the project's problems.
