There are three specialisations.
Landscape Architecture
Students who specialise in Landscape Architecture learn to design and construct new and challenging landscape forms on the basis of a sound understanding of landscape formation processes and contemporary theories of architectural forms and design methodology. It links creative design processes both to the arts and to scientific knowledge that spans ecological and behavioural fields of study.
Spatial Planning
This specialisation focuses on the whole of preparatory, decision-making and coordinating activities of the organisation of space. It deals with the allocation of land use, land development, reconstruction and land management. It is also based on a sound understanding of landscape formation processes and contemporary planning theory and methodology. It is grounded in the social and natural sciences.
Socio-spatial Analysis
This specialisation focuses on the analysis of the interaction between space and society. This is accomplished by examining how social and cultural developments and changing policies transform spatial practices, characteristics and perceptions. The dual relationship between space and society is approached from a multidisciplinary perspective, incorporating theories and methodologies from sociology, anthropology, geography and psychology. |
