Dr Kristof Fatsar holds an MSc in Landscape Architecture (Corvinus University Budapest, 1994) and an Advanced Studies Master's in Heritage Conservation (Catholic University of Leuven, 1996). Having earned a PhD in Landscape History (2001) and subsequently finishing a rather long tenure at Corvinus University of Budapest, he left as Professor of Landscape History and Conservation in 2011. After relocating to the UK and enjoying research fellowships at various institutions there and in the US, he is now Senior Lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture. His core research interest concerns the historic development of designed landscapes in the 18th and 19th centuries, with an emphasis on transnational knowledge exchange that influenced landscape design in the European peripheries. A particular focus of his recent research is the interrelation of personal connections, plant distribution and memberships in learned societies both across Europe and on a global scale.
