I Ar. Stuti Sareen from India present my experience and observations of my first steps in the country of innovation and starting the specialized course of Landscape Architecture for attaining Masters degree. Since the Curriculum of the “international masters in landscape architecture” is designed on the basis of joining the theoretical and practical approach of the field, the first semester of study for participants itself is oriented to be the practical internship semester in a practice led landscape architecture office. In my case, I have been feeling privileged to get an opportunity to be the part of a small but efficient learning based practice setup led by Dipl.-Ing. Kolhoff, Matthias, Kolhoff Landschafts Architekten at Vechta, NI, Germany.
introduction Internship at Kolhoff Landschafts Architekten
01.10.2015 – 01.02.2016
It had been a most enriching experience of my life time. Worth mentioning, not only the professional experience and qualities I gained in this new and different from my native setup but also the personal help and an extra hand for fulfilling my legal documentation with government offices was much more than my expectations. This experience which I thoroughly enjoyed had given me and an added advantage of learning an overall picture of hosting the team member/colleague in your office who might come with certain limitations.

Vector works was the most useful tool I learned in the Kolhoff environment. This is a vector based software helpful for 2d and 3d drawings.
Vectorworks Cad and BIM Software
It’s a user friendly software used to draft and explain the design and details of the site. The process of learning and adapting to this new software was an interesting Journey from day one in the office. Though the software installed in the system was the germen version but I managed making the screenshots and then translating it to English. The first week at the office was devoted to learning the software and then the process of learning by doing was initiated. It was comparatively fast experience to grasp the fundamentals of the vector works landmark. Vector works also provided me with Vector works Getting started guides in English that too added in learning shortcuts.

Dorfpark Bösel Public Participation meeting Location : House Boesel (Dorfgemeinschaftshaus Bösel)
While attending online course seminars on public participation, I got an opportunity to attend a meeting of such a kind that was held on 11.25.2015. We met the "Working Group Village Renewal“ (Arbeitskreis Dorferneuerung),and the local public was invited in the same. Topic was the redevelopment of the village park and the adjacent fairground. Here the planning and construction costs were presented to the public for the first time and there reviews were taken for further development of the design. The plans were previously created in collaboration with the "Working Group Dorfeneuererung“. Where as the suggestion and critics of the local public was also proved to making the design more efficient and beneficiary to the main user group.
