Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the module students should be able to:
1. Measure and abstract a framed view from an enclosed lived space to a garden space (examine inside to outside relationships)
2. Justify the redesign of an open space, rural or urban, to increase its potential as a sustainable and resilient landscape project and compare to European/UK precedent
3. Appraise topographic information and redesign the green infrastructure of an existing place, its topography and hinterlands
4. Categorise the landscapes and prepare a transect of the area from core to hinterland.
5. Evaluate threats to a place (sea-rise, dumping, maintenance, biodiversity, vacancy, invasive species) and propose mitigating strategies
6. Design the interconnection spatially between three strategic points in this landscape and draft changes to current policy as a result.
7. Demonstrate the ability to communicate, discuss, critique and reflect on your own work, the work of your peers and to participate with a community.

Not applicable to this module.

• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment

The module is assessed across typically four 'work stages', with each one requiring a verbal presentation as well as the production of various types of drawings and models. Assessment is by a panel of typically three tutors and/or invited external landscape architects or other experts. Marks are assigned on the day of the presentation. Feedback is available individually normally within one week of each presentation with the exception of the final presentation. The final presentation typically takes the form of an exhibition on a date agreed with students on the first week after the end of formal teaching. A hard copy bound thesis document and digital copy is also required to be handed in prior to the External Examiner's visit.
