The landscape architecture environments stream gives you the opportunity to study, explore, research and challenge notions of landscape processes, 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.

The environments stream consists of four distinct courses: environments 1-4

Environments 3, the third course in the course sequence, focuses on structural and material aspects of landscape architecture through processes of built form. The course assumes and builds on the knowledge and skills that you have gained in environments 1 and 2.
You will apply material and construction techniques to concepts of dynamic landscape systems to evaluate performative qualities in relation to landscape processes through prototyping and modeling tasks. You will document your work in a design documentation package.

You will investigate structures, materials, techniques and processes of construction in landscape architecture through fabrication and design investigations in small-scale prototyping. Aspects of the course focus on landscape architecture specific documentation drawing sets, modeling and site manipulation.

Learning activities include field trips, lectures and workshops that involve making and analog and digital fabrication tasks through which you will investigate structures and material processes in landscape architecture.
This course is a designated Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course for the Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design, in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context, projects and placements and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
