BA (Hons) LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

BA (Hons) Landscape

Architecture

BA (HONS) LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE is the first step in a professional career in Landscape Architecture. It is the only programme of its kind in London that is accredited by the Landscape Institute. The programme centres on the design studio, working in small class sizes with lecturers from leading landscape architecture practices in London. Students are introduced to inventive approaches in Landscape Architecture and are encouraged to experiment and to develop design speculations for future landscapes and cities. Design projects explore a range of landscapes, working with green roofs, living walls, courtyards, public spaces, parks, squares, waterfronts, urban masterplans and regional strategies. Students also investigate historical contexts and contemporary ideas in Landscape Architecture, with studies informed by fieldwork in the UK and abroad. Visits to art galleries, museums and important landscapes in London, as well as lectures by leading international designers and artists, are essential to the programme. Classes in ecology, conservation, horticulture, construction, visual representation, drawing skills and digital communication further support the development of design projects. Graduate employment from this programme is high.
