Design with Water is an immersive summer school course that explores how water can be a driving force in shaping landscapes. Set in the unique Icelandic environment, the course brings together students interested in landscape architecture, environmental sciences, planning, and related disciplines to engage with real‑world challenges of climate change, urban hydrology, and nature‑based design.
Through hands‑on studio work, field observations, lectures, and site visits, participants will work collaboratively to develop a plan for a river landscape, integrating Blue‑Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Nature‑Based Solutions. The course combines theory and practice, offering direct exposure to contemporary projects and an ongoing European‑funded BGI initiative as an open laboratory.
If you are interested in designing with natural processes, working across disciplines, and rethinking the role of water in future landscapes and communities, this course offers a unique learning experience in Iceland.
This course is offered as Erasmus Blended Intensive Course (BIP), and students are eligible to apply for Erasmus mobility grant – seek more details with your Erasmus coordinator.Design with Water is an immersive summer school course that explores how water can be a driving force in shaping landscapes.
