The students are challenged to undertake a study, preferably of their interests and they are tasked to complete their whole landscape planning and design process. They would draw upon scientific, historical and cultural knowledgebesides minor research findings in applying their creative and technical skills in planning and designing an environment serving useful, aesthetic, safe and enjoyable purposes. Overall, the students would be able to communicate well and work effectively with others on complex land design and planning problems. They would have learnt to appreciate the ethical, social, environmental and ecological dimensions of issues involving changes in the landscape.......[Read More]
