INTRODUCTION TO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Course Description

This course introduces the interrelated disciplines of landscape architecture, horticulture, planning, and architecture; constitutes a basis for the organisation and design of the functional uses, aesthetic and enjoyable environments; applies artistic and scientific principles to the research, planning, design of built environment; explores existing and natural site conditions and their impact on influencing and shaping the built environment. Creating various types and levels of exterior spaces such as, streets, parks, gardens, square, etc. is also covered. Moreoever, the course gives a brief information about history of landscape architecture, ancient gardens and landscapes, and contemporary landscape architecture. It includes the elements of landscape design (land, water, vegetation, climate, buildings, roads, pedestrian ways etc.) Landscape architectural technology; grading and drainage, plant identification, site construction, planting design.

Program Outcomes

1. P01 Integrate knowledge of interior architecture principles, spatial organization, and visual perception to develop user-centered, functional, aesthetically enriching, and innovative spatial solutions.
2. P02 Analyze and evaluate the relationships among user needs, functional constraints, ergonomics, accessibility, and universal design principles to develop interior architecture solutions across different design scales and contexts.
3. P03 Research, analyze, and relate historical, cultural, and theoretical knowledge to justify design decisions that respect local values while responding to global cultural diversity.
4. P04 Communicate design ideas effectively by integrating visual communication tools, manual and digital representation techniques, and appropriate digital technologies, including artificial intelligence-assisted visualization methods, where appropriate.
5. P05 Evaluate and integrate materials, color schemes, lighting, and furniture systems by considering user experience, environmental comfort, technical performance, and sustainability to create high-quality interior environments.
6. P06 Integrate environmental responsibility, occupant health, and ethical principles to develop sustainable, safe, and healthy interior architecture solutions and justify design decisions.
7. P07 Collaborate and coordinate with professionals from architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, and related disciplines by integrating multidisciplinary knowledge to develop comprehensive spatial solutions.
