Course Description
The Landscape Architecture Planting Design course sits within the environments stream. The environments stream provides skill base and core knowledge in the field of landscape architecture through training in dynamic landscape systems and the built environment as well as the ecological, social, cultural and economic aspects of landscape architectural design. Landscape Architecture Planting Design works with the foundational knowledge of layers and systems to address urban, plant and water systems through the medium of design.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
The capabilities that are developed through the program in which you are enrolled are described in the Program Guide.
Program Capabilities which will be developed through this course are:
- Engaging with urban and global complexities through making informed judgements about environmental, social, cultural and political frameworks through design research.
- Exploring research methodologies
- Generating creative outcomes to Landscape Architecture projects
- Understanding the ecological, cultural, economical and ethical issues associated with design practice.
In the suite of environments courses you will develop the capability to address the increasing complexity of the landscape systems in relation to the theoretical, technical and social/political context within which they operate through the medium of design.
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Analyse existing spatial conditions and systems with relevant technologies.
- Communicate your ideas through a range of mediums.
- Identify and work within relevant Landscape Architectural frameworks.
- Demonstrate understanding of systems through spatial investigations within a project.
