Graduation Studio (Landscape) (9982.3)

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 completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Synthesise a range of ideas from landscape architecture to develop a sophisticated design concept;
2. Produce an innovative and comprehensive design project of formal & material quality;
3. Demonstrate an ability to detail landscape elements in an interesting manner; and
4. Use a range of graphic tools to comprehensively represent a design project.
