Track in Landscape Architecture

Landscape Architecture is an independent design discipline related to Urbanism and Architecture. The landscape architect is a designer of outdoor space: from architectonic ensembles and urban spaces through to large-scale urban, rural and infrastructural landscapes. The landscape design process is a synthesis of art and technology in which consideration is given to the formal, material and cultural qualities of the site. Each project is a unique balance of geometry and geomorphology, artefact and nature, form and function. And because landscapes evolve and land use changes over time, designing with consideration for time and landscape processes is an important part of the discipline.

Landscape Architecture in Delft

The Delft Track in Landscape Architecture covers all aspects of the discipline – from planning to design practice, from theoretical considerations to practical exercises, and from research to policy-making – from the perspective of architecture and design, and in the context of the urban realm. It examines crucial topics such as lowland landscapes and the urban realm through a scientific lens, and is linked to a parallel research programme in Urban Landscape Architecture through methods, projects and researchers. Real-life projects developing core design skills are the centrepiece of the programme. In addition to design skills, you will learn about plants and vegetation types, soils, hydrology, ecology and sociology.
