Abstract
This chapter explores how Ås in Norway became the first place in Europe to establish a university programme in landscape architecture and reviews the history of the first decades of this programme. Intentions of the supporters of the programme are discussed on the background of a brief overview of the early development of the school. The study is mainly based on a close examination of published and unpublished sources from the university archive, both from the National Archives and from the Historical Archive of Norwegian Landscape Architecture, established in 2014. The chapter portrays the first teacher of the programme, Olav L. Moen, who dominated the field in general and the education in particular, during the first three decades since the programme started in Ås. The study brings forward new knowledge about, and new interpretations of, the emergence of landscape architecture education at the university level.
