A selection of lectures and courses will take you on a journey through the many meanings of the word landscape.

It provides examples of the special relationship that sometimes develops between an individual and a place, the way in which a landscape reveals itself to him or her, appealing not only to the senses but also to memory and culture.

What forms does landscape take ? A natural view, an urban or industrial landscape, a place of memory superimposed with imprints left over time, the work of an architect, landscaper or gardener, a space for sensitive experiences, a cosmological universe... After surveying, contemplating or observing, it's time for some to gather impressions, tell stories or analyze the landscape beyond the surface of things, thanks to sketches, graphic and photographic notations or precise measuring instruments. The final stage is the creation and transmission of literary, scientific or artistic descriptions.

The videos in this collection reflect these research processes, from the first understanding of the notion of landscape to the shaping of the observations collected.
