Day 7: Monday

Yesterday we got a day off and got a chance to go see some of the castles in the area (some of the others went to Sweden) ^^ I got to see Fredricksberg and Hamlet’s castles and they were pretty interesting.

(yay group meeting at Hamlet's Castle)

For lectures on this day, we had Gertrud Jorgensen, who talked about “Sustainable Peri-Urban Landscape Visions and Strategies,” which included sustainability (economic, social, environmental concerns) and the DPSIR model. We then had professor Simon Swaffield lecture on “Landscape and Public Policy: Approaches and Strategies” which included a valuable policy cycle, spatial strategies for landscapes, and the types of landscape policy implementation.

We then had a field trip with Professor Primdahl, who took us to an “elderly home” designed by Jorn Utzon. The design of the place and the concepts that made it were quite nice. We were given a tour by a man who was 83 and spent 15 years applying to live in the place. Overall, it was pretty useful to my group project, since we were presenting on urban space with environmental aspects, which the place demonstrated pretty clearly. Furthermore, it gave us a good picture of the semi-detached houses that I missed on the field excursion on the second day.
