Analysed are in detail the historical principles of spatial organisation and their applicability to the modern city (composition, problems of new forms, etc.). The second part of classes and tutorials is devoted to the fundamentals of garden design and to the influence of historic development on today's design. The subject covers also the natural environment of settlements and the rehabilitation and protection of landscape.
