Objectives

The course aims at providing the student with the basic skills and knowledge required to develop a design idea into construction documents.

On completion of the course, the student will be able to:

- perform a design proposal based on given preconditions in the form of programmes and instructions

- make conscious and justifiable choices of included features and materials

- through computer-aided design (CAD) develop their proposal into technical drawings and specifications with particular focus on landscape construction, details and Equipment

- perform a small-scale practical paving or tiling work with a specified grading

- reflect on the process of landscape design and construction

Content

Through literature studies, lectures, seminars, field trips and exercises, the student is given a basic knowledge of hardscape materials, landscape construction practices, as well as other stages of the design and construction process. Featured learning modules include choice of materials, grading, storm water management, superstructure dimensioning, detail construction, computer-aided drafting in AutoCAD, producing technical specifications that concur with AMA, practical site construction work as well as cost estimation.

The above-mentioned skills and knowledge are applied in the course’s individual project work: A design proposal that is developed into rational and unambiguous construction drawings and specifications in alignment with set standards and site construction practices. Part of the project work is developed in the subsequent course, which focuses on vegetation.

Seminars, field trips, exercises and project work are compulsory.

The course gives skills traning credits.
