Course Summary

Combine creativity, curiosity and technical skill to explore how we reimagine the natural and built environment. With access to state-of-the-art facilities and expert teaching, students will develop planning and design skills to plan urban landscapes and consider the way in which our environments can influence our mood and behaviours. Students will work across a vast range of scales, from cityscapes to coastlines, and build up a portfolio of work which showcases the breadth of their skills and understanding. Graduates go on to secure work in areas such as urban consultancy and community development, in industries like film and TV, leisure and games design. In studying this innovative and interesting combination of architecture and planning, students will consider how people use space across a diverse range of urban environments. The course brings to life the challenges faced by the industry and the solutions created by some of the great architects and designers in this area. Students will develop their cityscape architecture and planning skills. They will learn how to balance national trends, regional characteristics and local traditions.The course will offer the opportunity to explore the functional, expressive and social impact of new construction technology.

Course Details - Modules

In level 4 (year one) students will be introduced to the different aspects of built environment study, the design process and the underpinning skills and theory. The first two terms of this year of study comprises a largely shared curriculum across BA (Hons) Interior Design Environment Architectures (IDEAs), BA (Hons) Architecture, and BA (Hons) Urban Landscape Architecture. In the third term a specialist Landscape Unit is offered. We also encourage students to start thinking about their contextual studies research. The second year of the course, (level 5) shifts towards interpretation of knowledge gained and the application of the skills acquired in Level 4 in the creative process and explores the subject specialisms in more depth. All Design Studio Units are specialist Units for Urban Landscape, while History and Theory Units are shared with other courses. We also set briefs that encourage students to collaborate together and create work as part of a design team. Students will bring their learning together in a final major design project, where they will investigate and make urban landscape design decisions. We also ask students to show their contextual studies research and thinking in a long form dissertation. Students will leave with a portfolio that shows their skills in addressing the opportunities and challenges raised through increasingly dense populations and high competition for resources.
