LAD4008 Design 7

The course develops higher level skills in landscape design and forms the common specialisation course which can be taken across both Landscape Practice and Landscape Studies specialisations. Projects of city quarter scale are undertaken to explore issues of tropical urban context, programme and socio-ecological considerations. The studio applies fundamental knowledge in urban ecology, socio cultural studies, and relevant sciences as a core design approach. It aims to translate acquired data and information (through literature reviews and experts’ inputs, community surveys, GIS analysis, etc.) into spatial forms. It requires systemic design development processes with technically competency and ecological aesthetics.
