Program Overview

The University of Copenhagen offers a comprehensive program in Landscape Architecture, with a focus on plants and technology. The program is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the planning process and the role of materials, constructions, and management processes in landscape architecture.

Program Description

The program, titled "Plants and Technology in Landscape Architecture 1," is a studio course that explores the functional, biological, environmental, and technological aspects of landscape architecture. The course covers a range of topics, including grass, vegetation, urban trees, park trees, reinforcements, terrain, and rainwater management. Students will develop their skills in sketching, planning, and project development, and will learn to apply CAD and other digital tools.

Program Objectives

The program aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the landscape architecture process, including the role of materials, constructions, and management processes. Students will develop their skills in sketching, planning, and project development, and will learn to apply CAD and other digital tools. The program also aims to provide students with a deep understanding of the planning process and the role of materials, constructions, and management processes in landscape architecture.

Program Structure

The program is structured as a combination of lectures, excursions, and fieldwork, exercises, and preparation. The course is divided into smaller thematic modules, each with a combination of lectures, excursions, and fieldwork, exercises, and preparation. The program also includes CAD instruction and instruction in other digital tools.

Program Requirements

The program requires students to have a basic understanding of landscape architecture and design principles. Students are expected to work individually and in groups, and to participate actively in pin-up and other presentations.

Program Assessment

The program is assessed through a written assignment, which is a collection of course assignments submitted individually. The assessment criteria include the student's ability to apply knowledge of plants and technology to develop landscape architectural solutions, and their ability to communicate their design proposals and solutions orally, in writing, and visually.
