Description
At the Bartlett, the Design Studio is the basis of design teaching and learning. Landscape Architecture design teaching is delivered by Design Studios, taught by design professionals who are academics and landscape architecture practitioners.
Each studio presents an individual design programme that reflects their studio pedagogy and approach to innovative Landscape Architecture.

Advanced Landscape Design 1
This is a preparatory module that establishes a site context and areas of interest and ambition. You will advance these areas of interest further in the Landscape Thesis (BARC0119) or Advanced Landscape Design 2 (BARC0113) modules. Seven design studios are offered, each with its own pedagogical stance with regard to Landscape Design. Each studio formulates a project brief including the following aims and outcomes:
- landscape appraisal
- processes of making and forming natural and constructed landscapes
- development of aims and ambitions, intentions and targets, and design
- strategies
- detailed design proposals
- techniques of landscape representation
Advanced Landscape Design 1
The module aims:
- to develop processes of landscape appraisal, evaluation and precedent research
- to synthesise professional, technical and environmental issues in a detailed design using iterative and reflexive design processes within the framework of a final design project
- to demonstrate design skills that develop through experimentation and speculative research in an original approach to urban design
- to develop and refine landscape representation and interpretation
You will gain:
- understanding of Landscape Architecture concepts and techniques
- skill in the manipulation these concepts to create a novel design proposal with the aim of transforming a given context
- critical and creative skill in communication and presentation techniques in a seminar/ crit setting and in portfolio preparation
Tutorials
Tutorials normally take place on a weekly basis. Open juries (or reviews) are organised by
each studio. Presentation of work by students is in a seminar/review setting.
Assessment is via a drawn, modelled and written design portfolio.
