The educational path addresses the complexity of the factors influencing building performance, from the urban and microclimatic scale down to building components and systems, including the role of occupants. Performance, in fact, results from the interaction—often non-linear—of multiple interconnected parameters.
1st year
Students will attend courses focusing on landscape culture and history, landscape representation, ecology and agronomy, analysis and interpretation of urban and rural soils and landscapes, and infrastructure design techniques. Two design studios, the Landscape and Infrastructure Design Studio and the Open Space System and Parks Design Studio, will provide opportunities to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
2nd year
Students will attend courses focusing on environmental analysis and landscape mapping, conservation and management of historic gardens and landscapes, urban forestry and landscape planning. Two design studios, the Built Environment and Landscape Design Studio and the Frontiers of Landscape Design Studio, will consolidate knowledge and skills. Students also attend optional courses and workshops.
In the second year, students also undertake a traineeship and develop the final dissertation or thesis required for graduation.
