‘Write like you talk, talk like you sing, sing like you love’
(Diane di Prima)
To address the (dis)connections between the production and the enactment of landscapes it is important to question how we articulate landscapes: how we categorise them, how we conceive of their borders and relations, how we decide what matter matters (Donna Haraway 2016 p35).
Landscape History and Theory at Greenwich explores critical and theoretical discourses that engage with the relations between the production and experience of the lived environment.. Forging an interdisciplinary dialogue between landscape, urbanism and design, performance, philosophy, sociology, geography, history and anthropology discourses we explore our position as knowledge makers and our responsibility as entangled within a more-than-human environment.
In the first-year of the Undergraduate programme we look at the core ideas of landscape and architectural theory, contextualising our positions within London. In the second-year we expand this knowledge, exploring key texts through discussion and site-based workshops, developing a critical approach that connects theory to site. In the third-year of the undergraduate programme personal research is developed into a dissertation that connects sites, practices and landscape theory. Masters students combine and develop these research approaches with seminars and presentations to produce an illustrated thesis.

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.
