At The Bartlett the Design Studio is the basis of design teaching and learning. Landscape Architecture design teaching is delivered by Design Studios each taught by two or more design professionals Ìýwho are academics and practitioners. Each studio presents an individual design programme that reflects their studio pedagogy and approach to innovative Landscape Architecture.

You will attend introductory lectures, seminars, individual and group tutorials and reviews (where you will present you work in an open forum, for comment and discussion). Site visits to natural areas and constructed sites introduce site analysis and understanding of a range of design outcomes.

As the year progresses you will undertake a series of projects that increase in scale and complexity. Design projects are informed by and developed alongside the Landscape Inhabitation and Environmental Systems (BARC0115) module for which students are required to produce a Design Project Review. Development of design projects is supported by the Skills and Workshops programme that delivers tutorials on various 2D and 3D, digital and analogue tools for interpreting, representing, and designing landscapes.

Landscape Design 2 - the second of three design studio-based modules in the year and builds on the work undertaken in Landscape Design 1. Each Design Studio has its own pedagogical stance with regard to Landscape Design and formulates a project brief within the aims and outcomes of the module including:

• developing use of precedent studies, landscape appraisals and evaluations for a specific site
• studies are in conjunction with site interpretations ranging from photographs and sketches to measured drawings and diagrams
• processes of making and forming natural and constructed landscapes
• development of aims and ambitions, intentions and targets, and design strategies for a specific site
• techniques of landscape representation and design process

Landscape Design 2

The aims are to:

• build on from a basic knowledge of landscape design
• develop skills in representation and design techniques including 2D and 3D visual and manual skills
• develop techniques of iterative and reflective design development which synthesizes professional and technical and environmental issues

You will gain:

• ability to critically examine and refer to precedent in the making of landscape architecture design proposals
• knowledge and understanding of planting and construction for hard and soft landscapes
• knowledge and understanding of the visualization of proposals for the design and management of landscape related projects including two-dimensional, three-dimensional and temporal contexts
