University of Oulu, Faculty and Technology,Architecture Department, Finland
University of Oulu’s Department of Architecture is the
world’s northernmost school of architecture. The department, with its 300
degree students, is a small unit within one of Finland’s largest universities.
The
school’s teachings respond directly to its surrounding, northern environment.
Local building traditions and extreme climate conditions (long and dark winters
with snow and ice versus light and warm summers), offer great resources and
possibilities for research and creating new architecture for extreme northern
climates.
The instructors are professionals who work both as teachers and as
practicing architects and designers. The teaching is carried out in small
groups and through individual consultations in a familiar and pleasant study
environment which is a real benefit of a small architecture school.
ENSNP - National school of higher studies in nature and landscape architecture, France
The objectives of the program at the national school of
higher studies in nature and landscape architecture (ensnp) is to prepare
engineers and provide them with the balance of knowledge, skills and attitudes
that are needed for their work in landscape architecture.
Our five-year program includes courses in a wide
variety of domains: sciences and techniques (38%), human and social sciences
(21%), management and communication (3%), graphic communication and space
representation (18%), landscape projects (20%). Each year, students get
practical training during 2-month internships. The fifth and final year involves
a 6-month work period on their graduation project. A pluridisciplinary approach allows our students
to grasp the environmental and landscape dynamics of territories (such as their
anthropomorphic and biophysical aspects, the relations and interactions between
space and society) and to incorporate them into landscape projects.
After graduation, 62% of our students are employed in
private offices, 12% in local governments, 9% in public administration offices,
8% of them create their own practice, 5% go into teaching, 2% pursue further
studies while 2% engage in other activities.
