Course abstract
The aim of the study course is to acquire landscape designing, by using landscape functional unity of the landscape and composition with the architectural object as dominant, equivalent or dependent element. In the course project, students develop plans of roads, parking’s, representative decorative, recreation zones. In the project, the need to be taken into account service areas, environmental accessibility objects, worked out detailed greenery plans. The course project needs to be developed by computer graphics with visualizations and specifications. In study course are included topics about climate changes in rural areas.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
The outcome of study course:
• knowledge about zoning of representative objects, about functional, compositional and aesthetic unity in large scale objects, about the architectural object main and service functions of the architectural object and areas territories surrounding the building,
• increasing skills in planning pedestrian and transport movement, establishing skills in designing of the environmental accessibility constructions, and plans of the group shaping, • competence - ability to work out territory improvement plan of the area and developing a greenery project for public and private outdoor space with main dominant and dependent objects of it.
