Plants and<br />
Planting Design 2<br />
This course aimed to provide a structure for students to be<br />
able to think in a creative, critical and structured manner<br />
about plants, planting and planting design’s role in landscape<br />
architecture. Fundamental issues covered included a<br />
framework for the selection, arrangement, placement of<br />
plants in the landscape, and the art of developing a critical<br />
eye, work process and tools for planting design. Intellectual<br />
ideas and perspectives also explored included various design<br />
movements and their influence on planting design, balancing<br />
aesthetic creativity with practical function, usability and long<br />
term development, and understanding the different roles of<br />
different types of planting design from ornamental plantings<br />
through to purely functional types. The course also engaged<br />
in discussion on the origins of landscapes, what constitutes<br />
a ‘natural’ landscape, and the context of change over time<br />
within the landscape. Students then applied this knowledge to<br />
their studio projects to experiment with different approaches<br />
to planting and to discern various technical solutions for their<br />
designs.<br />
