This course explores spatial design and programme in relation to land-based issues and initiatives at the strategic, regional and local detail design scales. It will prepare you for effective and proactive landscape practice by encouraging you to develop your ideas and clarity of expression through projects that address `live´ and competitive briefs. There is a special commitment to sustainability and regeneration.
You will look at considerations of scale, speed, time and change, material qualities and experience. The Communication and Making module provides key elements of the course and reflects the demands of contemporary practice for compelling landscape representation and design.
The module is underpinned by theoretical and professional practice studies. You will develop live design projects, which will be reviewed by clients and may be the subject of community consultation. You will build an individual portfolio of design work through the course and exhibit work at the end-of-year show.
