LAD4010 Design 8

This studio-based course develops an appreciation for design skills in landscape design as applied on a large city and will be used as a requirement to fulfil a Specialisation in Landscape Practice. Interdisciplinary requirements from planning guidelines, architecture design, engineering limitations, understanding existing natural land and urban systems will be introduced into the design process. The project site addresses complex urban design issues. The studio aims to develop novel landscape typologies towards ecological resilience and sustainability. Students are expected to understand geopolitical dynamics and characterise socio-ecological functions of sites at multiple scales. Application of various quantitative and qualitative methods through interdisciplinary approaches will contribute to determine configuration, sizing and functions of design projects.
