The LUS Institute investigates landscapes, territories, and settlements \u2013 and the human and more-than-human relations that shape them \u2013 across scales and geographies, from Switzerland and Europe to diverse contexts throughout the so-called Global North and Global South. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its research examines the spatial, environmental, political, (geo)historical, and more-than-human relations through which contemporary environments are produced, contested, and continually reshaped. The Institute engages with a broad set of interconnected themes that explore how these environments evolve. Core areas of inquiry include territorial and urban transformation; post-industrial and resource-affected territories; and the global\u2013local entanglements that drive ongoing urbanisation processes. These interests are complemented by research into more-than-human and multispecies spatialities, foregrounding ecological interdependencies within changing landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research projects address topics such as designed ecologies, energy transitions, housing, agroecology, hydrology, biodiversity and ecosystem processes, regenerative systems, and adaptive territorial infrastructures. Additional areas of focus include more-than-human landscapes, Indigenous territorialities, and socio-ecological and socio-economic transitions, and climate adaptation \u2013 together offering a comprehensive lens on the challenges and potentials of present and future development of landscapes, territories, and settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctoral programme adopts an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, integrating architecture, landscape architecture, urban and territorial design, planning, urban theory and history, as well as the social sciences. It welcomes a wide range of methodological approaches, spanning (geo)historical research into landscape and urban form, participatory and community-engaged methods, qualitative and ethnographic inquiry, as well as cartographic, spatial, and mapping techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
