In this unit students will demonstrate their knowledge of Landscape Architectural Design. Landscape planning & design brings together the diverse range of knowledge and skills of landscape architects to address social & ecological problems on sites that range from the urban to the regional, the natural & the artificial, and at the different scales that suit them. In design studio students develop these skills and synthesise their learning from all their subjects, by applying them to real-world briefs, simulating professional practice. As students progress through the sequence of landscape design studios, their degree of difficulty & scope of projects increases and greater professional quality is expected of design project outcomes.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Engage with master planning and ecological theory to organise a large site;
2. Propose design solutions that operate at large and small scales;
3. Logically organise paths and roads in relation to landscape systems present on a site; and
4. Produce landscape masterplans and component detail plans that fit into them.

Skills development

All landscapes are the consequence of a myriad of relationships between the geology, water, vegetation, animals, weather, social norms and cultural values. The nature and balance – or lack of balance – in these relationships are important to understand if we are going to manipulate or rehabilitate the landscape.

In this studio students will use what they  learn about landscape systems to develop design and management strategies.  Through the studio project students  will demonstrate their  understanding for the value of the strategic approach and how it this is applied at various scales frrom the regional to the site specific. 

Students will build on knowledge of the tdesign process,  technology and plant material to develop an appropraite scheme.

Academic integrity

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.

To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.

Use of Text-Matching Software

The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
