Astrid Lelarge hefur verið ráðin í 75% stöðu aðjúnkts við LbhÍ. Astrid mun sinna 50% stöðu við deild Skipulags og hönnunar og 25% stöðu á kennsluskrifstofu þar sem hún mun sinna umsjón með framhaldsnámi LbhÍ. --english below--
Astrid er með PhD gráðu frá Université Libre í Brussel og meistaragráðu frá sama skóla. Astrid hefur síðastliðin ár unnið sjálfstætt að rannsóknum og komið að fjölbreyttum verkefnum. Hún hefur meðal annars stýrt rannsóknum fyrir International Centre for City, Architecture and Landscape in Brussels. Doktorsverkefni Astrid fjallaði um útbreiðslu hringleiða í Brussel, Genf og Reykjavík milli 1781 og 1935. (e.The spread of ring roads projects in Brussels, Geneva and Reykjavík between 1781 and 1935). Hún vann að ýmsum rannsóknarverkefnum fyrir Minjastofnun, Skipulagsstofnun og Rannís ásamt því að hafa komið að kennslu í skipulagsfræðum hjá Sigríði Kristjánsdóttur brautarstjóra í Skipulagsfræði og forseta deildar Skipulags og hönnunar við LbhÍ.
Astrid Lelarge er sagnfræðingur sem hefur sérhæft sig í borgarhönnun. Rannsóknir hennar beinast helst að þéttbýlisformum, fræðikenningum og starfsháttum í skipulagi og stefnumótun. Astrid vinnur nú að hagnýtri rannsókn á almenningsrýmum sem kallast MAPS - Þverfagleg mat á almenningsrýmum (e.multidisciplinary assessment of a public space). Þar fléttast saman aðferðafræði félagsfræða, arkitektúrs og skipulags sem tekur mið af umhverfis- og samfélagsþáttum. Markmið verkefnisins er að útbúa verkfæri sem hægt er að nýta í borgarskipulagi. Astrid hóf þetta verkefni á stofu sinni Alternance Architecture & Urban Design sem sameinaðist evrópska teymi Human Cities-SMOTIES. Verkefnið var styrkt af Creative Europe program sem styrkir verkefni til að bæta almenningsrými sem eru úr alfaraleið. Deild Skipulags og Hönnunar Landbúnaðarháskólans hefur nú einnig gengið til liðs við verkefnið.
Við bjóðum Astrid innilega velkomna til starfa.
