Landscapes & Ecosystems
Beate Jessel with Luca Rossi & Yves Kazemi

The course investigates contemporary landscapes, urban-rural ecosystems, and their design. It explores the role of ecosystem services that non-built spaces can provide, considering the contribution of nature-based approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
The course considers green and blue infrastructures as fundamental components of urban and territorial design and provides design concepts and multifunctional approaches for their implementation at different scales.
