  • The area of knowledge for this unit is Design and Creative Arts
Content
This studio engages the speculative nature of landscape architectural design. Both theoretical and practical, the studio develops strategies for considered landscape design resolution within explorations which can include integrity of place, landscape urbanism, heritage context, planting design or other contemporary issues in landscape architecture. Experimentation and speculation are encouraged in both design process and in representation.
Outcomes
Students are able to (1) analyse the formal and intellectual variations on the idea of landscape in the twenty-first century; (2) show developing skills of critique in analysis of the designs of others; (3) display a manifestation of poetic ideas in well-resolved, buildable form utilising a full range of materials; (4) generate designs which demonstrate sophisticated spatial composition; and (5) produce presentation images and/or models which represent an increasingly high-quality and professional standard.
Assessment
Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) interim folio and (2) final folio. Further information is available in the unit outline.

To pass this unit, a student must: (a) achieve an overall mark of 50 per cent or higher for the unit; and (b) achieve the requisite requirements(s) or a mark of 50 per cent or greater, whichever is higher and specified in the unit outline, for the final folio component.
