Select Sub-theme
Abstracts are invited for the conference sub-themes: Landscape Design, Construction/IT, Landscape Planning, and Planting Design.
Select paper type
As ECLAS is an organisation representing schools, we are not only interested in receiving research-based papers but also those covering theory development, critical reflection of practice and papers about teaching approaches and methods.
- Research papers: These are papers which present results of new research no published elsewhere. The abstracts need to refer to the research question, the context and theory of the problem, the methodology used, the main results and some broad conclusions supported with up to ~5 key references.
- Reflective papers: These are papers offering deep reflection, appraisal and critique of some aspect of landscape architecture: projects by specific people, programmes, trends, movements etc. The abstracts need to refer to a question which is raised, the context of the reflection, some original observations and analysis and a number of key conclusions supported with some references as above.
- Theoretical papers: These are papers which aim to advance theory by exploring and arguing aspects of either current theory or by advancing new theories. The abstracts need to raise a question about the context of the specific theory, elaborate on the theory, present a summary of the main arguments and present a number of key conclusions supported by some references as above.
- Teaching and learning papers: These are papers dealing with the advancement of teaching and learning practice in landscape architecture. The abstracts need to present an issue of concern in teaching and then demonstrate by reference to existing practices, novel approaches or critique of existing methods, some solution to the issue raised, with some key conclusions and some references.
Full paper
A full paper will be presented in the respective session and will be allowed 20 minutes plus questions. A PowerPoint or similar presentation is expected during the conference, although alternative methods may be possible. The full paper itself should be 1,500 words maximum plus illustrations.
