Our history

Our study association was founded on the 31st of May, 1990, by a group of students of the study association of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Design at Wageningen University. We were named after the famous concept of 'Genius Loci', which means the 'spirit of the place'. It is a concept which is used when designing a new landscape, by building upon the distinctive atmosphere which is, and was, present in the project area.

More history

The study

Genius Loci is the study association of both the bachelor Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning (BLP) and the master Landscape Architecture and Planning (MLP). By learning about various theoretical courses related to the landscape, like ecology, geology, soil and water, you can justify your later studio courses where you work on your own project.
