Ellen Braae is professor of landscape architecture theory and method and head of the research group ‘Landscape Architecture and Urbanism’. Ellen is trained as an architect and landscape architect from the Aarhus School of Architecture, where she also got her PhD. Ellen has several years of practice experience, including her own office.
Ellen's research interests include questions related to regenerative urban and landscape development. This entails special attention to planetary boundaries and living systems, the preservation and transformation of the postindustrial urban landscape, design and transformation, theory and practice of cultural heritage in general and 'green heritage' in particular, ecology and aesthetics, landscape architecture theories and methods, landscaping tools in a historical perspective, landscape theory, industrial culture, fordism and postfordism, spatial theory, design theory and landscape based urban development. From an overall perspective Ellen focus on how we may approach regenerative urban and landscape development, it’s meaning, appearance and function in a way that allows humans and more-than-humans to thrive.
