Landscape and Territory course programme

  
 

The registration period for the Landscape and Territory course offered by the CDAN is now open. The course, which will run from 23 to 27 June 2008, is directed at geographers and creators of landscape, landscape gardeners, artists who work in and with the landscape, and theorists and historians of art and landscape.

The programme includes presentations by distinguished lecturers who have earned recognition for their work in Spain and internationally, roundtables, and an excursion related to the subject of study. The deadline for registration is June 13. Places are limited and applications will be processed strictly in the order in which they are received.

The course objectives and the various registration categories were explained in the February 2008 issue of this newsletter. This information is also available at the CDAN web site.
