Ecology and<br />
Sustainability<br />
This course sought to enable students to develop an<br />
understanding of key ecological principles and the concept of<br />
sustainability, and to appreciate the manner in which these<br />
principles underpin successful landscape design. The course<br />
investigated how the concepts of succession, biodiversity,<br />
habitat structure and ecosystem stability contribute to the<br />
success (or failure) of urban landscapes, habitat creation<br />
projects and restoration of degraded landscapes, and how<br />
these techniques are an essential tool in successful landscape<br />
design. Students were required to apply their understanding<br />
to a major design project based on a local case study, and to<br />
undertake specific research on a relevant chosen technique<br />
related to that project.<br />
