Resilient Coastal Landscapes: Landscape architecture design explorations in the Pearl River Delta, Ningshao Plain, Mumbai and Bangkok through five MSc-graduation projects

The Resilient Coastal Landscapes graduation lab explores the potential of a landscape-based regional design approach to contribute to more resilient coastal landscapes around the globe. Such an approach addresses the interaction between the natural and urban landscape throughout the scales of space and time. It takes the landscape as the basis...

Guiding Waters: Re-imagining the polder landscape of Rotte-boezem

The course AR1LA051, which is part of the landscape architecture master of the TU Delft, explores the water system of the Dutch lowlands. In a collaborative effort 15 students, split in seven teams, work together to transform a “boezem”-system on the fringe of Rotterdam. The individual efforts of each group and the overall group strategy are...

This graduation studio explores the potential of a landscape-based regional design approach to contribute to more resilient coastal landscapes around the globe. Such an approach addresses the interaction between the natural and urban landscape throughout the scales of space and time. It takes the landscape as the basis for sustainable urban...

Design for Change: Experimentele tijd-tekeningen in de praktijk

Ontwerp voor Verandering. Landschapsarchitecten communiceren met opdrachtgever en publiek via tekeningen. In grote lijnen is de wijze waarop ontwerpers hun werk representeren al decennia stabiel, gebaseerd op impliciete conventies. De standaardpresentatie van een ontwerp met de combinatie van plantekening, doorsnedes, visualisaties en...

Landscape Approach Greater Bay Area, China: Landscape architecture explorations in the Pearl River Delta, Beijing and Jakarta through eight MSc-graduation projects

This publication presents the results of a design lab that explores landscape-based design approaches for adaptive urban transformation in fast urbanizing deltas. While using design as a research strategy landscape architecture principles are explored that ensure water safety and inclusive socio-ecological design. The projects as presented here...

Landscape Approach South-Florida: Landscape architecture explorations in Miami, Biscayne National Park, Lake Okeechobee & Everglades City through seven MSc-graduation projects

The coastal landscape of South Florida faces many challenges connected to climate change and urbanization. Sea level rise, loss of ecosystems, land subsidence, aquifer depletion are some of the issues that need serious attention. Landscape Approach Florida is showcasing results of a Landscape Architecture Design Lab where seven MSc-graduates...

Flowscapes: Infrastructure as landscape, landscape as infrastructure. Graduation Lab Landscape Architecture 2012/2013

Flowscapes explores infrastructure as a type of landscape and landscape as a type of infrastructure, and is focused on landscape architectonic design of transportation-, green- and water infrastructures. These landscape infrastructures are considered armatures for urban and rural development. With movement and flows at the core, these landscape...
