Course contents:

This course has several parts. At the basic level this is the character of the location (genius loci) as a synthesis of natural, local and regional, historical and other aspects. At the next level the place of the given Central European social and political environment and still another level higher, we compare global processes. Any place lies at the crossing of several basic components from the local to the global. During instruction we attempt to find, identify and work with them.

Experience from one's arts projects will be assessed in teamwork on a topice area. An inseparable part is the understanding of theory and continuity of knowledge in the creation of the project.

Aspects of individual courses reflect each other and create the potential for the final form.
