The Design Research Seminar Stream introduces you to and broadens your understanding of Design Research. Design Research recognises that the act of design is itself a mode of research and that design processes and practices including ones own are a productive means of generating insights, ideas and creating new knowledge.

Design Research Seminars expose you to a broad variety of practice-based Design Research methods relevant to landscape architecture. Guided by contemporary questions and issues central to the profession and discipline, the courses test and reflect on established ways of working to find new ways of engaging with an increasingly complex world.

Seminar courses develop necessary design research skills through specialised landscape knowledge and practices, expanding on areas of core knowledge in landscape architecture. Specialisations focus on the following three threads:

Critical Thought / Material Systems / Advanced Communications.
