Landscape Construction - materials and design
Information from the course leader
Välkomna till höstens kurs Markbyggnad - material och projektering!
All relevant information kommer att finnas på Canvas i takt med att ni behöver den. Redan nu kan ni gå in och läsa om kursens upplägg samt bekanta er med det preliminära schemat. Reservera datum för obligatoriska moment (fetstil i schemat) i era kalendrar så att ni undviker merarbete eller kompletteringar senare, men observera att även övriga moment behöver utnyttjas för att följa med i kursen och projektarbetet.
För er som har villkor i antagningsbeskedet ber jag er att så snart ni fått beskedet höra av er till mig med en plan för att uppfylla dessa inför kursstart, så ökar chanserna markant att kunna läsa kursen. Om du har funkastöd uppskattar jag likaså att du hör av dig i god tid med NAIS-beslut och tankar om hur vi på bästa sätt kan stötta dig under kursen.
Ha en riktigt härlig sommar, så ses vi på eftermiddagen 2 september!

Knowledge equivalent to 90 credits Landscape Architecture.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
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 as well as performing practical site construction work.
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.
Seminars, field trips, exercises and project work are compulsory.
The course gives 10 credits of skill training in the degree of master of science in landscape architecture
