At The Bartlett the Design Studio is the basis of design teaching and learning. Landscape Architecture design teaching is delivered by Design Studios each taught by two or more design professionals who are part-time academics. Each studio presents an individual design programme that reflects their studio pedagogy and approach to innovative Landscape Architecture.

You will attend introductory lectures, seminars, individual and group tutorials and crits (where you will present you work in an open forum, for comment and discussion). Site visits to natural areas and constructed sites introduce site analysis and understanding of a range of design outcomes.

As the year progresses you will undertake a series of projects that increase in scale and complexity. Design projects are informed by and developed alongside the Landscape Inhabitation and Environmental Systems (BARC0115) module for which students are required to produce a Design Project Review.

Landscape Design 2 - the second of three design studio-based modules in the year and builds on the work undertaken in Landscape Design 1. It offers a range of Design Studios, each has its own pedagogical stance with regard to Landscape Design and formulates a project brief within the aims and outcomes of the module including:

developing use of precedent studies, landscape appraisals and evaluations for a specific site
	studies are in conjunction with site interpretations ranging from photographs and sketches to measured drawings and diagrams
	processes of making and forming natural and constructed landscapes
	development of aims and ambitions, intentions and targets, and design strategies for a specific site
	techniques of landscape representation and design process
Landscape Design 2 

The aims are to:

build on from a basic knowledge of landscape design
	develop skills in representation and design techniques including 2 and 3D visual and manual skills
	develop techniques of iterative and reflective design development which synthesizes professional and technical and environmental issues
You will gain:

ability to critically examine and refer to precedent in the making of landscape architecture design proposals
	knowledge and understanding of planting and construction for hard and soft landscapes
	knowledge and understanding of the visualization of proposals for the design and management of landscape related projects including two-dimensional three-dimensional and temporal contexts
