Students will develop disciplinary and trans-disciplinary expertise by exploring the convergence of art, design, science and technology to develop a portfolio of projects that articulate an advanced and autonomous position on contemporary ecological and cultural issues. Students should seek research led projects that provide valuable intelligence on how Landscape Architectural collaborations provide a basis from which to address complex global issues such as environmental change, spatial planning and cultural resilience.
