This exhibition presents the work of second-year Landscape Architecture students exploring ecology, place and design through observation, making, and storytelling. Working across sites in Deptford and Greenwich, students investigate how landscapes are experienced, mapped, and transformed through creative design processes.
The project begins with a journey along the Grand Surrey Canal Linear Park, where students collect objects, record observations and develop physical models inspired by their discoveries. Through drawing, surveying, mapping and model-making, these found materials become catalysts for new narratives and spatial ideas. Individual explorations are expanded through collective site analysis, revealing layers of planting, movement, land use, emotion and ecological relationships.
The exhibition showcases a progression from fieldwork and experimentation to strategic landscape proposals. Plans, sections, models, masterplans and visual narratives demonstrate how students translate research into design interventions that respond to contemporary environmental and social challenges.
Across the year, students develop an evolving design ethos through reflective practice journals, documenting influences, sketches and critical thinking. Together, the works on display reveal landscape as an active agent of creativity, engagement and regeneration, highlighting the potential of design to shape more inclusive and ecologically responsive environments.

Welcome to the creative and climate-conscious world of BA Landscape Architecture, where design meets environmental responsibility. The undergraduate programme progressively introduces students to a set of innovative tools and methods, that allow exploration into how spaces can be reimagined for both people and natural communities and be beautifully integrated into the environment. See further details on our prospectus page.
