Description

This studio concentrates on two major themes in landscape architecture – landform and planting. Landform consideration includes investigation into the relationship between topography and natural systems, constructed environments and ecological sustainability. Design projects involve the manipulation of landform to achieve a range of functions for a real site. The planting component of this studio builds on plant knowledge and use from previous courses. Students apply this knowledge to the planting design of a real site, together with consideration of the relationship between landform and plants. Specific projects may include water sensitive urban design, constructed wetlands, historic perspectives on the use of plants, land art, or the design of transport or recreation precincts. An integral part of the course is the presentation of a sketch book that demonstrates a wide range of graphic and design skills, and includes examples of design precedents.
