This year our practice was formed around values derived from our exploration of the found object by searching, composing, casting, cutting and sketching, all of which helped definining ethos to help us frame designs based on an urban ecology. We asked ourselves, how can our practice be translated into more inclusive and accessible ecological systems? This culminated in a project which looked at the journey through treasure maps and speculated designs in an already developed urban setting. In term 2 we looked ‘inside’ out, starting with the school as a catalyst and then evolving our school playground designs to influence its context. The design codes identified not just as an inventory of rules, nor a comprehensive design, but a set of parameters for how the school playground would operate ecologically, socially and physically in a way that engaged the next generation of environmentally charged pupils.

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.
