  • Program Outline
    This is an intensive four-semester length studio-based academic program that develops professional and creative abilities in a context of contemporary theory and practice of landscape architecture. Projects are used as the basis for learning, discussion and review. Some projects lead students through technical, administrative, planning or other specific aspects of practice, while others promote innovative approaches to design with a more open agenda. The programs combine a global outlook with extensive use of case studies of Australian and international work. Teaching is by a combination of University staff and visiting practising professionals.
