This study explores the analysis of landscape memory concept within the educational framework of the European Landscape Architecture Students Association (ELASA) Meeting, with a particular focus on the upcoming ELASA Türkiye 2024 event. ELASA's objective is to acquaint landscape architecture students across Europe with landscapes from various countries. Its events typically comprise panels, workshops, and excursions designed to enrich students' comprehension of landscapes.
With the 2024 mini meeting scheduled to be held in Türkiye, with a focus on the theme of landscape memory, this paper aims to examine the concept within the context of the ELASA Türkiye 2024 program. The program's overarching goal is to instill a profound appreciation for Turkey's rich and diverse landscapes and heritage among participants, thus contributing to the preservation and understanding of landscape memory within the field of landscape architecture. It aims to explore strategies aimed at enhancing participants' conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills through a series of proposed activities. By doing so, it aims to contribute meaningfully to the preservation and understanding of landscape memory, a fundamental aspect of our shared cultural and environmental heritage. The methodology adopts a two-pronged approach. Firstly, it involves the collection of participants' perceptions of landscapes both prior to and following the event. This will be accomplished by requesting participants to complete the statement "Landscape is ____." The objective is to discern any shifts or developments in participants' perceptions of landscape within the landscape memory framework influenced by the event.
Secondly, the methodology integrates field trips as essential elements of the program. During these excursions, participants will immerse themselves in the exploration of memory images ingrained within natural and cultural landscapes. Subsequently, participants will be encouraged to conceive innovative solutions aimed at conserving landscape memory across natural and cultural realms. This comprehensive approach seeks to highlight the effectiveness of educational strategies in fostering an appreciation for and commitment to the preservation of landscape memory within the ELASA Türkiye 2024 program.
In line with the methodology, this paper introduces a case program aimed at providing innovative educational opportunities for emerging landscape architects. The program is intricately designed to delve into the concept of landscape memory through the utilization of diverse techniques and tools. Through practical and theoretical engagement, participants will explore the intricacies of landscape memory, culminating in the development of a comprehensive educational program tailored to the needs of the younger generation of landscape architects.
