ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a survey of the first hundred years of landscape architectural education in Europe. Recognizing two periods, the account starts around the middle of the nineteenth century when institutes of higher education began offering landscape design courses. It continues with the second period when, after the turn of the century, universities established degree programmes that they built on nineteenth-century foundations. In particular, the chapter explores the contributions of Olav Moen in Norway, Erwin Barth in Germany, Francisco Cabral in Portugal, Jan Bijhouwer in the Netherlands, René Latinne in Belgium, and Geoffrey Jellicoe and Brenda Colvin in the United Kingdom. Through international cooperation, educators and practitioners were able to generate knowledge and agree on standards that helped increase the credence and public visibility of the new disciplinary field.
