Contemplative Landscape AttitudeIsmail, Nor Atiah (2011) Contemplative Landscape Attitude. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2011, 3. pp. 80-81. ISSN ISSN : 2180-0685 Official URL: http://www.vlmp.upm.my Abstract2011 Landscape Architecture Department students’ projects focus on the idea of Contemplative Landscape Attitude. It is a great challenge in the globalisation era where landscape design concerns on meaning and give meaning in a sustainable environment, rather than a cosmetic prevalence. This frame of mind allows students to be creative and innovative in conveying a track of thoughtful ideas on coherent spatial interpretation, sustainable environmental and social encounters and repositioning tropical landscape competencies. This year, students in the Landscape Architecture Department continue their tradition of empowering landscape scholastic knowledge through series of studios and lectures in the faculty. Their substance of knowledge is also broadened through a well-planned students’ international travelling, working and learning experiences in Bangkok, Taiwan and South Korea, students’ exchange programme in IOWA State University and students’ internship programme in Indonesia, China and Singapore. These intriguing yet provocative teaching, learning and research approaches enable the department to increase cognitive domain of their students’ achievement to a higher taxonomy level in landscape architecture study. The department also continues to strongly emphasise Student Centred Learning, in line with the University aims of moving towards Outcome-Based Education.
