Goals

Recognizing the importance of Islamic culture in the body of knowledge of Garden Art in Portugal, transmit technical knowledge in the areas of landscape interpretation, conservation, restoration, history, hydraulics, garden archaeology, and botany related to Islamic culture.

Students will acquire an awareness of the evidence of Islamic culture in Portuguese gardens, cities, and landscapes, as well as an interest in garden design and interpretation. Restoration issues will be developed.

The students' ability to understand the design elements derived from Islamic Garden typologies can be enhanced for a greater sensitivity to examples from the Mediterranean world where "From ecology arises the art of landscape, with roots in the deep past" (Landscape of Man, Susan and Geoffrey Jellicoe, 1987).

It is expected that the outcomes of the Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme (AKHCP) and the resulting effects on the neighborhoods where it is implemented will bring innovative case studies for students to acquire knowledge of these new forms of urban planning for architects, landscape architects, sociologists, and urban historians.

Recipients

The course is aimed primarily at professionals in the fields of Landscape Architecture, History, Garden Art History, and History of Sciences who wish to deepen the specific topic of traces of Islamic art in Portuguese gardens. It also can serve as an optional credit unit for Master's and Doctoral courses and finally it can be useful to history or garden history enthusiasts.
