Academic Career and Research Areas

The Chair of Prof. Keller (*1962) is focused on issues of contemporary landscape architecture and the development of public spaces. In this context, Prof. Keller is looking for landscape architectural solutions that meet today's demands in the city against the backdrop of resource issues, climate change and the protection of historical monuments. At the center of the conception of urban spaces is the quality of life of humans and other species.
