1 PEDAGOGICAL BOOKLET

2 ENSP s area of specialisation is within project-orientated design teaching in studios. Emphasis is placed on the physical, geographical and human uses of the landscape. We focus attention on the opportunities inherent to the site, its surface topography and hydrology as well as invisible relationships such as the dialogue with the memory of the site. We strive to develop our thinking by understanding a sense of place and this approach is fundamental to our ethos as we conceptualise and selected projects. The work finds focus in large scale contemporary landscape issues, such as sub-urban expansion themes, agrarian transformation in rural and sub rural areas as well a project-orientated understanding of the agricultural and natural dynamic in France s regions. The French post-master on large scale landscapes in transition is organized in four blocks of teachings. The core block is a Studio run with stakeholders, either public or private on an anticipatory topic related to large scale landscape dynamics, this studio is named Atelier Pédagogique regional, (APR), regional pedagogic studio. The studio is a 6-month studio, a work group of 3 students supervised by a professional landscape architect or a teacher from ENSP. The studio is taught in English. The other main courses are seminars and conferences as well as an optional workshop or master class. The second semester is concentrated on a feedback on the students APR (regional pedagogic studio) to disseminate new knowledge gained by the design work. All modules are taught in English. An original training programme. The weekly pedagogical organisation allows the exercise of a part-time activity. Each promotion will benefit from a «great witness» whose work and positioning will open the field of reflections on the problem of the Post Master. The great witness supervises a master class and proposes a collective contribution reflecting this unique year. An inaugural core curriculum consisting of an artistic performance and a philosopher's seminar will offer the three programs a wider scope for reflection on the transition. After the assessment of the APR, the month "OFF" will propose experiments in short formats: Workshops, Master Class and Grand Chantier will constitute a reflexive pause in a deepening workshop. The Post Master diploma, APR D, where everyone will develop their position as a landscape architect facing problems of "transition" encountered during the training, will close the year. This time of deepening the project practice will result in a final restitution in the form of a book or collective exhibition. 2
