Those principles build on one another, alongside the integration of art and ecology.Our design thesis studios treat landscape design as both a process of research and experimentation and as a valid method of inquiry.Throughout the course, we collaborate with other programmes at the school, such as the BA in Architecture and Urban Planning and the Master of Urban Design.
