Objectives

Enlighten students regarding the profession and discipline of landscape architecture.

Clarification of the current vocabulary areas of this discipline as well as the guiding principles of interventions.

Understanding of basic methodologies and the various stages and components of a landscape architecture design project.

Knowledge of the various work scales - from landscape development to small garden projects.

Recognition of some of the major national and international works and projects.

Learning outcomes and competences

Given the learning objectives to be achieved for this course, the teaching methodology adopted is supported in theoretical exposition by students, supported by a structured intervention of the teacher using illustrated and commented visual materials and vast literature. This will allow students to have access to a set of specific content, as well as specific references to enable them to develop deeper insight into the selected topics.

The preparation of research presentations, promotes their autonomy, allowing them to know the importance, structure, and use of the acquired knowledge.

The completion of the work planned for evaluation involves the capacity to collect, select and interpret relevant information in the area of this curricular unit connected to the future profession of architect.

In addition to the most fundamental and general bibliography, each working group will receive a list with bibliography and webgraphy, including links to videos, specific to the topic under analysis.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The theoretical presentations of the teacher promote the acquisition of updated information on the studied subjects.

The complement bibliography presentation associated with each theme will guide the students, encouraging them to practice research, reflection, and critical about the topics covered.

The study of real situations of intervention leads to knowledge of good practice and the recognition of the importance of theory to intervene in practice.

The group work permits to develop and apply the acquired knowledge and extend personal performance.

The forms of assessment are appropriate to the objectives of the course and the methodology adopted.


">The development of topics will be carried out articulating intervention moments structured by the teacher with theoretical presentation illustrated by visual materials commented, and moments of sharing and collective discussion around the issues under study.

">The aim is to engage students in research work and reflection on the matter presented.

">
">The evaluation is based on the preparation, and p
">resentation, of a group work on one of the themes of the class (70%) and a theorethical test (30%).


">The date of submission of assignments will be timely informed and agreed with the students.
