Studio - Advanced plant design
In this course, we deepen the design with plants, ie design of different environments where plants play a particularly important role. During the course’s various assignments and seminars, we discuss design for different expressions and functions with focus on plant selection, plant location, dynamics over the years, plant qualities and plant sizes. Several professional consultants participate as guest lecturers and supervisors.
During the course, we work with case studies at different scales, from the details of a pocket park to more large-scale expressions in the street environment.
The knowledge of trees and shrubs is deepened through literature studies. Perennials and bulbs are given extra space.
Information from the course leader
Hej!
Vi ser fram emot att få träffa dig i kursen i höst. Eftersom kursen startar med ett litteraturblock så är det viktigt att du har boken Naturalistic Planting Design; The Essential Guide av Nigel Dunnet (ISBN 9780993389269) redan vid kursstart. Den finns i några exemplar på SLU-biblioteket men inte som e-bok. Därför är den tillgången mycket begränsad. Förra året tog det lite tid att få hem boken så betsäll redan nu!
Här kommer en läsinstruktion: Läs kapitel 1 (Introduction) och kapitel 3-5. Övriga kapitel läses översiktligt. Gör en läslogg, dvs anteckna det som du finner intressant, anteckna var i kapitlen som du hittar detta. Koppla till annan litteratur och till din erfarenhet av platser och växtgestaltning. Gör en grafisk representation av det som du uppfattar som det viktigaste i anvisade kapitel.
Börja gärna att läsa redan under sommaren, både för att det är härlig sommarläsning och för att hinna ta dig igenom boken i lugn och ro.
Hälsningar Ulla & Bodil
