Course Summary
The landscape architecture environments stream gives you the opportunity to observe, explore, research and challenge notions of interrelated landscape systems and landscape materials. You will study the complexity and dynamic processes of environments through a wide range of design based learning activities such as drawing, documenting, mapping, recording, researching, making, fabrication and prototyping.
In Environments 1 you will learn to recognise large landscape systems such as river catchments and cities. You will investigate and study the processes that make up these systems such as geomorphology, geology, water systems, vegetation and settlements at a range of distinct landscape scales.
Learning activities include field trips, lectures and workshop exercises that involve creative making and drawing tasks through which you will adopt an understanding of landscape systems as dynamic set of adjacent conditions.
