Course overview
This is the capstone course for the Master of Landscape Architecture degree. The course requires students to synthesize and demonstrate proficiency of prior learning through the development of an individual landscape design project of medium to high complexity. As the culmination of the masters program the design project must demonstrate a practical and critical engagement with key knowledge areas including research through design, landscape architecture culture and theory, urban design, planting design and landscape detailing that are introduced throughout the masters program. The course is delivered in an intensive and immersive studio format engaging with local landscapes, industry, and people of the place. The design project is supported by a critical illustrated essay which discusses the relevance of the proposed design to contemporary landscape architectural theory and debates. Specific details and the focus site for the studio will be defined by the coordinator according to current topical areas of interest.
