LARCH 7031 - Studio: Landscape Architecture (M)

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This studio provides opportunities for exploration of themes in contemporary landscape architecture including interrelationships with planning, ecology and infrastructure. The themes and sites will be ambitious in scale, including urban parks, post-industrial or urban renewal projects, consistent with effective consideration of the scale of ecological systems and the influence of planning policy. Models and digital modelling are typically emphasized in this studio. Students will also be introduced to extracting data using GIS software. Students will develop advanced integrated design strategies through site investigations, case studies and theoretical speculation. Advanced design resolution is required demonstrating critical application of strategic understandings to a specifically contextualised site.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION

    This studio provides opportunities for exploration of themes in contemporary landscape architecture including interrelationships with planning, ecology and infrastructure. The themes and sites will be ambitious in scale, including large territories, post-industrial or urban renewal projects, consistent with effective consideration of the scale of ecological systems and the influence of planning policy. Innovative techniques for assessing, simulating and modelling landscapes are typically emphasised in this studio. Students will develop advanced integrated design strategies through site investigations, case studies and theoretical speculation. Advanced design resolution is required demonstrating critical application of strategic understandings to a specifically contextualised site.

    STUDIO BRIEF: 'Extreme Territories'

    The whole world is facing an appalling climate and ecological emergency as a consequence of global warming and climate change. In the context of a changing environment, a stronger focus will be set on rural communities worldwide. In Australia, an historic record of multi-year drought, devastating bushfires, longer heatwaves and uncontrollable floods has been experienced in the South and Southeast coast of the country in 2019-2020. Given our dependence on rural areas for food and water, extensive droughts and flash floods threaten the live and subsistence of cities in future. In particular, for those living in Mediterranean climate zones, such as in South Australia, the effects of an increasingly warm and dry planet have become more evident and significant. Hence, we need to develop better strategies to plan and design territories where more heat and less water is a common thing.

    In this sense, we present LARCH7031 Landscape Architecture Studio as an introduction to ‘extreme territory design’ which will develop as new area of competence in landscape architecture and related fields, where practitioners will play an important role in future.

    The goal of this studio is to improve local climatic conditions and to mitigate the effect of extreme events (i.e. flooding, heatwaves, bushfires, droughts, sea level rise) through the purposeful eco-morphological design at multiple spatial scales. A special emphasis is put on topological, regenerative, performative and responsive approaches for the exploration of a range of strategies that respond to anticipated extreme climatic conditions in South Australia.

    In this studio, students will address extreme environmental challenges and explore the application of new and innovative technologies for the formulation of site-specific scenarios for City of Onkaparinga. The prime concern in the studio is the analysis and manipulation of the local topography, water features and vegetated elements to mitigate extreme heat, reduce flooding, mitigate bushfires and increase the capacity of water storage for future irrigation and cultivation. Students will be asked to develop a range of proposals at (1) the territory and (2) local landscape scales that envision new approaches to innovative settlement. To do so, students will use advanced and novel GIS (geographic information systems), remote sensing and cartographic methods for landscape architecture including satellite and airborne-based imagery, point clouds (LiDAR – Light detection and ranging), as well as computational tools and environmental simulations run in Rhinoceros + Grasshopper, Ceasar-Lisflood and more.

    1. LinkedIn learning (). Free for Univ of Adelaide students.
    - Learning QGIS (3.0 Hrs)
    - Rhino Essential Training (2.5 Hrs)
    - Grasshopper Essential Training (6.0 Hrs)

    2. Archistar Academy () Free for Univ of Adelaide students.
    - Rhino Essentials (3 Hrs) those who already know Rhino can skip this course.
    - Grasshopper Essentials (3 Hrs).

    3. Other online tutorials are provided in MyUni and students are free to complete them at their own pace. You can also visit and follow the YouTube channel (developed and curated by the course coordinator), for more tutorials:

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course is designed to advance landscape architecture design and digital skills. The course focuses of key issues of increasing relevance to contemporary landscape architectural practice; in particular, climate change and global warming, ecological disruption, systemic and dynamic thinking, self-sufficiency and circular economy.

    The teaching activities for this course are based on a combination of lectures that will introduce students to core content as well as weekly design studio and technical sessions. The studio sessions will involve assignments and presentations that will develop skills essential for design practice. The studio sessions will be conducted via Zoom and student progress will be assessed using the online collaborative board platform .

    Technical skills in computational design will be achieved through technical support sessions via Zoom and through usual activity-based studio to engage students with the course content, which is linked to all aspects of the learning and teaching program that encourages both collaborative and individual initiatives. Several online tutorials and self-learning training will provide students with advanced skills in GIS, remote sensing, cartography, 3D modelling, simulation and visualisation techniques (More info: ).

    The assessable tasks are devised to simulate activities undertaken in design practice, such as analysis, alternative concept development, digital communication and effective online presentations. These are designed in an accumulative way such that the early assignments provide the foundation for subsequent assignments whilst providing opportunities for interim feedback.

    Furthermore, assessable tasks are integrated into the contact time periods to encourage efficient and productive brainstorming of ideas as often occurs in design studios. There will be many opportunities for students to discuss their work with other students and their studio tutors much as they would discuss ideas collaboratively in a design office.

    The art of criticism is emphasised as the mode for teaching and learning exchange between students, coordinator and guest reviewers, this course is, therefore, a necessary prerequisite in preparation for professional practice.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
